The Beeb and Sky are working on it but a resolution is not expected till
early next year.

I don't think that the BBC can be using the same post code mapping as ITV.
On
101 I now correctly get BBC East. On 103 I get ITV London & not Anglia.

The post code mapping is a bit of a mess so is right for some people and
wrong for others.
I live North(ish) Nottingham and get BBC East Midlands, ITV West Mid (c**p)
and ITV Yorkshire is on some number I can't remember.
A guy I work with lives 1-2 miles futher south but gets BBC West Mid,
ITV West Mid but no ITV Yorkshire.
Both of us are in easy range of BBC East Mid analogue so quite why
there is a difference I've no idea.

Well, seeing as Cumbria is in the North-west of England that makes
sense. Why isn't that the official BBC station for there?

It used to be, but the Caldbeck main transmitter (near Carlisle) has carried
BBC Newcastle rather than Manchester in recent years.

Having said that South Cumbria is, and always has been, served from Manchester,
via the Kendal, Lancaster, Coniston, and Windermere transmitters.

I live within range of the Oxford transmitter and am getting
BBC1 West Midlands on 101! This seems completely wrong - especially as
the BBC *HAVE* their Oxford region on 955.
