Any idea why this is? Such a strange time to me.

08:30 is when News 24 cuts away from simulcasting the fluff that is BBC
1 Breakfast, so perhaps to avoid confusion they are waiting until then
to switch on the HD version ?

BBC News Channel splits from BBC Breakfast at 8.30am. I guess they wanted to
launch it in HD with the actual news channel, rather than BBC 1 from
Salford.

The BBC News Channel studio is actually off the air between 1.00 am and 8.30
am. The channel takes BBC World from 1 till 6, then BBC Breakfast from
Salford from 6 till 8.30.

(.. only 15 minutes to go till it starts !)

Yes both BBC Children's on now on Freesat.

Any new non-BBC started or due on Freesat?

Regards
David

Geordie? Teesside isn't Geordie, and Bilsdale is south of there.

What is a "reception change" likely to be? For example, put in
2, EH8 9LW and look at COM7 on Black Hill. It's forecast to have
much worse reception from 2014. Presumably it's not 4G interference
as it's channel 32.

Oh, and don't mention the monkey.

You're not thinking of Hartlepool are you? I know they both begin with
H but they're different places.

No, it'll be the launch of another Mux 7 Tx that could lead to increased
co channel interference, in your case probably the launch of Durris,
also on Ch 32

Yebbut.....
Bilsdale, Pontop Pike and Chatton (and their relays) all carry the same
BBC NE and Cumbria programming. While the local news from York is
undoubtedly very interesting, it's of little importance to people some
of whom are up to 150 miles away.

Agreed. Though since Oxford was added to the BBC South region, there's
the same situation, people in Banbury and Aylesbury get news about
places that are nothing more than potential holiday locations for them.

I started a timed recording about 8:25. The subtitles from BBC One were also on
the News HD channel for a short while before any live video appeared.

Bilsdale is also in Yorkshire by about 10 miles, closer to York and Harrogate
than Durham.

There is no question whatsoever that 100% of the 'local' output from the BBC and
ITV, transmitted by a transmitter situated well within the county boundaries, is
irrelevant to anyone residing in North Yorkshire.
