    Note that it refers directly to BBC1 NI HD being carried via DTT. Please read these posts more carefully.

    Maybe you should have filleted the DTT content of the article in a quote. Its mainly Satellite content.

    From the article:
    So we will be listing the current version of BBC One HD in the 900s on Sky HD and Freesat HD so that viewers in Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland will still be able to access audio description

    Thankfully, we'll still get BBC 1 England HD on the Sky/Freesat EPG.

    To be honest, I'd rather have had the national BBC 1 HD service on Freeview as it was an alternative to some of the crap local stuff that we have to put up with on BBC 1 NI. Gerry Anderson going for a hair transplant is one recent example. We also lose out on a number of films that are screened nationally as a result.

    Meanwhile in another thread the OP is complaining about the lack of regional services on RTE... can broadcasters ever win?
    That said, our Freesat box is set to a London postcode :) but every once in a while the existence of a delayed screening of a programme on a regional variant gives us the chance to avoid a recording clash, or catch something we'd forgotten to record.



    Edit: didn't mean you, OP, a different OP!

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

    It will be on the Sky EPG in NI , but I doubt if it will be on the Sky EPG in ROI.

    More fool them then, as they'll get a better service on Freesat.
