BBC1 HD

holidaysong · 2010-10-23 15:47:11

As we know, BBC1 HD will be launched on November 3rd. However, does anyone know if all the regional variations are getting their own HD version (BBC1 Northern Ireland HD, BBC1 Wales HD, etc.) or will there just be one BBC1 HD option, presumably being based on one of the English versions of the channel?

Can't imagine where they would get the Satellite space.

Terrestrially yes.. I'd imagine on Satellite there is only BBC1 HD London.

It will be a "networked" version with an on screen point to the National and Regional variations for News.

Now that 10847 has been cleared of SD channels to make space for BBC One HD, can anyone figure out what they are still using DVB-S and not DVB-S2?

If the whole transponder is to be used for HD channels, then I see no reason why they won't switch to DVB-S2.

I think HD channels have to stay S1 if the tp is being shared with SD channels.

Maybe, but more than likely not. I would be very surprised to see it in the ROI EPG on launch day. You can tune it in via other channels though.

There's already a thread about this here.
