So we

look good.

Yes, though on DTT it's on the new Mux 7, only going to be
available
from 30 sites, not the other 1124 that carry the main HD mux.
Belmont
and CP have also launched Mux 7 today, Black Hill was supposed
to too ?

Unfortunately it's BBC 3 HD that will be on the 'universal' HD
Mux,
better if it had been BBC 4 HD instead IMHO.

Yes indeed - that's where the best proggies are.

Yes but you have to remember two things:
1 What age range is BBC3 aimed at?
2 What age range run the BBC these days?

I rest my case M'Lud.

That seems a bit strange as on Freesat 106 is BBC3.
(BBC4 is 107).


It is about time the broadcaster got their heads together and got some sense
into the numbering systems.

Yes, it would have been slightly more logical if BBC3 had been 107 and
BBC4 had been 109, as this would have kept the pattern of just adding
100 to the SD channel numbers.

Just noticed that Al Jazeera is getting HD on Freeview too, on 108.

Just checked channel 32 testing on Black Hill. Signal strength 64%
here. No programmes as yet. Nothing on channel 35.

Or News Channel, with BBC Three and BBC Four on the new mux?

I too would prefer BBC 4 HD.

However, BBC 3 seems to have more viewers than BBC 4.
