The BBC Regions and those abbreviations

BBC Regions and abbreviations on Sky Digital platform, there are some
corkers, the best one has to be BBC 1 EYks&L, no wonder they have left
some of the DOGs on for now (BBC say they will remove them after
"testing")

The DOGs have been coming and going while the BBC were testing (and
presumably checking) the regionalization.

They really should leave them on all the time, otherwise it's going to
be very confusing for people with all those different versions in the
EPG, people could end up watching the wrong thing and not realise.

Someone should really email the BBC and make this point. It's for the
good of the viewers, after all.

Going by the same logic:

- On all toilets, signs should be placed stating "Insert waste products
here".

- All undergarments should have labels stating "front bottom and back
bottom".

- All shoes should come with labels stating left and right for each foot.



I know in Sky-land, they view their suckers / customers with complete
contempt and as the lowest form of intelligent life, but there is no reason
for the rest of the world to stoop to this level of condescension.

As I have stated before, I think the *real* reason that you dislike
DOGs is that it spoils the pirate copies of movies that you are trying
to make.

Tough titties.

Ah, I see the troll has arrived.

Yep.

I drive a 2.9 Litre Granada, and from my council flat, I make £1000 a day
selling pirate copies of BBC Regional News bulletins.


Not.

imho what a pile of bollox!

I like to have my viewing not disturbed by onscreen junk. I watch programs
for the program content, not to have them tell me i'm watching
BBCWest......! Why have onscreen DOGS when the EPG quite clearly tells you
what channel you're on when you goto it!

lol

Just confirming another writer in this thread, I waited with anticipation at
6-30 this evening at Hull to see whether I would get EYks&L which we have
on analogue, but we got the Leeds edition and an invitation to enter 947 for
our local version. This is probably a better option, as EYks&L on analogue
only covers the coastal part of East Yorkshire, most of Lincolnshire, and
North Norfolk. We get news items for Sheffield too, so quite a few people
must watch EYks&L there as well.

I noticed that as Yorkshire is on 101, 946 is shown as unavailable. Is that
true for other areas?

That's correct. If a region is available on 101, it will not be available on
it's 9xx number. In effect, it's been moved rather than copied.
