Like the BBC's other domestic TV and radio channels, it is funded by the television licence, and is therefore commercial-free. It is a comparatively well funded public service network, regularly attaining a much higher audience share than most current public service networks worldwide. - en.wikipedia.org

Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV How is the free channel paid for?
The £528.3m BBC Two budget is funded by the £3,596m Television Licence Fee, and represents 14.7% of all BBC spending - that's about 42p per week per person.Is the channel live, pre-recorded, new content or repeats?
BBC Two has live presentation, but almost all programmes are pre-recorded, with the exeption of The Daily Politics and Newsnight. Almost all shows are commissioned by the BBC and most have having their first showing.What's the channel's unique selling point?
A healthy diet of lifestyle programmes, documentaries, comedy, quiz programmes and drama.The programme schedule highlights
6pm quiz, 6:30pm popular history, 10pm entertainment, 10:30pm Newsnight.The bits to avoid
The afternoon schedule (The Weakest Link, Flog It!) is lacking the imagination of peak time programmes.Help with TV/radio stations?

George: If you are watching the analogue channels, BBC2 was switched off on 6th July 2011 and replaced by a high power digital multiplex which carries all the BBC channels. The remaining analogue signals will be switched off at Sudbury on Wednesday, 20th July 2011 and replaced by mux D3+4 ( ITV1&2, C4, C5 etc) and mux BBCB which carries HD channels. To continue watching TV you will need a Freeview box or a TV with an in-built digital tuner. If the problem is loss of BBC2 on a digital receiver you will need to do a factory reset to clear the channel list of all old data then do a scan for channels which should find and store the channels on the current frequency.

I have reset the TV channels after the Sutton Coldfield switch over and all is fine. However, I cannot tune the Recorder into BBC2 or Ch. 5 either manually or automatically. I have a digital tv, no Freeview box or anything. Feel if I could find the channel number of BBC2/Ch. 5 it would help. I have 46 for BBC1, 40 for ITV and 50 for Ch4. I can record all these okay. I can also record BBC2 if I set the recorder to AV1 but have to have the TV on that channel throughout.

Pensioner 69: I'm assuming you mean an old video cassette recorder (VCR). Analogue is now being switched off completely - analogue BBC Two no longer broadcasts from Sutton Coldfield. The other analogue channels will go on the 21st. Channel 5 should still be around for the next two weeks, but was always more difficult to receive as it broadcasts on a low channel from the Lichfield mast.
To record digital TV programmes other than the one you're watching, you need to add a Freeview box to decode the signal for the VCR, and set the VCR up to record from that - this would probably be AV2 on the VCR. It is a lot easier to get a hard disk-based recorder, generally called a Personal Video Recorder (PVR).

Barry: If your aerial is directed at the Salisbury transmitter, then it is on channel 57 along with the other BBC standard definition services on the BBC A multiplex.
BBC Two is now no longer available on analogue as it has made way for the full power BBC A multiplex.

I do not have any problems with my TV reception - BBC 1, etc, but when I switch to HMDI, I did I cannot get BBC1- BBC2 - Channel 80.
Is there some simple non- technical thing I could do to make it work ?

I've autotuned my Panasonic Freeview HDD/DVD recorder after switchover, but now we don't have BBC2 on it? What do I need to do to get it on there - looking at various websites they seem to have instructions for groups of missing channels, but we have got BBC One.
Thank you
