Well, I can't provide a direct quote without possibly breaching
copyright, but actually there's not much more info anyway.

Danielle Nagler is leaving the Beeb later this year (not to be replaced)
to join a firm a lawyers, and the Beeb have also said today that BBC HD
will be converted into BBC 2 HD.




which could mean we end up watching non HD bbc 2 shows upscaled while
bbc 3 and 4 HD shows we currently see on BBC HD go unseen until some
point in the future if repeated.

Or conversely they could put the HD stuff on BBC2.

Was there not a suggestion coming from the Trust that the way the
programmes were divided into channels might change, with possibly a
reduction from four to three? At the moment four seem unnecessary as
BBC4 seems to show all the programmes twice an evening

I think the early morning repeats are a necessity.

If they weren't there I would never see a BBC4 program as I almost always
have a double clash at 9pm already

I'm guessing that a double clash means three programmes in total (as a
clash would mean two). My PVR can only record two programmes. I
assume others are the same.

So I expect he has applied more thought than you have :-)

30 years ago I shocked the family by getting a second VCR because of
double clashes. In those days VCRs were very expensive. My action was
seen as utter profligacy. There are two odd things about this, from
today's perspective. Despite the huge increase in the number of channels
I can't imagine finding more than an average of four programmes per week
to record, and the chances of even two being on at the same time are
low. Secondly, I now have the ability to record six channels at once, if
all machines are used.

I can beat that by one !

Humax HD Sat box, 2 record channels
Toppy SD DTT box, 2 record channels
Sony DTT DVD/HDD box, 1 record channel
Sony analogue DVD/HDD box, plugged into FTA-use Sky box, 1 record channel
Sony DTT TV with external HDD plugged in the back, 1 record channel.

However we only watch an average of one prog per night, normally from BBC 1,
2, BBC 4, or C4, and if we do miss something, normally owing to my
incompetence in failing to notice it, we use i-player !

I can beat that by *lots*

MythTV with dual DVB-T tuners and dual DVB-S2 tuners, each tuner
configured to record 4 simultaneous programmes per mux/transponder. It
could probably cope with more simultaneous recordings if I tried,
storage is on 8x500GB SATA disks.

Nowadays its rare for it to even record 2 programmes at once, the reason
the DVB-S2 tuners were recently added was for HD, rather than extra
simultaneous recordings.

Yes in the old days, with three vcrs, you had so much to watch you found you
were watching Christmas shows at Easter, however nowadays, there is so much
crap and regurgitated crap and Super crap compilations of crap and home made
crap that even one recorder is often too many!
Moral of the story, More channels does not mean more to watch, it means that
you thin down the content so much its more like water than emulsion paint,
which of course is what you watch drying if you want real entertainment
these days.

That should have been merge bbc 3 and 4, but somehow, I don't think enayone
would notice.

Can't say that I disagree, in fact you could probably merge BBC2/3/4 so
all the combined output could all go out in HD and not notice too much
lost, apart from a bit of flexibility to show multiple streams e,.g. for
Wimbledon/Olympics etc.

Guilty as charged.
