Stupid DOG: BBC ONE North Yorkshire and East Lincolnshire
No wonder the BBC made us go Widescreen: "BBC ONE North Yorkshire and East Lincolnshire" on my Sony, this DOG fills nearly all the 4x3 safe area. I wonder why the BBC have deployed this DOG equipment?

Perhaps it's not the DOG that's being tested? Then what is? They can show the channel without the DOG. Perhaps they are testing that the regional channels appear on the correct number..? With or without any card in the Digibox. Its hard to identify the channels if there is no DOG. I guess you could watch BBC1 London until the DOG disappear - same programs almost all the time.

They're probably testing the postcoding system - and need to be able to tell the channels apart! They go live in the EPG tomorrow (Tuesday) I believe. Dave -- Email: MSN Messenger:

We don't even know if they'll have regional labels when they're at position 101 yet. Dave -- Email: MSN Messenger:
