From Wikipedia: The channel's annual budget for 2011/12 is 1,166.6 million.3 Along with the BBC's other domestic television stations, and many European broadcasters and some in Asia, it is funded principally by the television licence fee, and therefore shows uninterrupted programming with no commercial advertising at any time. It is currently the most watched television channel in the United Kingdom, ahead of its traditional rival for ratings leadership, ITV1. This system used a vertically-scanned image of 30 lines just enough resolution for a close-up of one person, and with a bandwidth low enough to use existing radio transmitters. - en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org link icon

About BBC One (SD)

Free channel of the day: BBC One

^{Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV 1st February 2012 at 07:38}

How is the free channel paid for?

The £1,402m BBC One budget is funded by the £3,596m Television Licence Fee, and represents 39% of all BBC spending - that's about £1.11 per week per person.

Is the channel live, pre-recorded, new content or repeats?

BBC One has live presentation, and both national and regional are broadcast live. In addition the daily The One Show (7pm) is live, as are sporting events. All other programmes are pre-recorded and are almost always commissioned by the BBC and having their first showing.

What's the channel's unique selling point?

The is customized for viewers in Scotland, and Northern , as to a lesser extent in the English regions, and has the most extensive television regional news service in the UK.

The programme schedule highlights

Weekdays has national news from 6am-9am, 1pm, 6pm and 10pm and regional news at 1:30pm and 6:30pm. There's a daily soap, Doctors at 1:45pm, and EastEnders (Mon/Fri 8pm, Tue/Thurs 7:30pm) and Holby City (Wed 8pm).

The rest of the schedule is mixed, with factual (Mon 7:30pm, 8:30pm) and entertainment and factual/entertainment mix shows (such as Motorway Cops). Thursday night has politics from 10:35pm onwards, Friday night being entertainment only.

The bits to avoid

The morning schedule of Cash In The Attic, 11:30am and Bargain Hunt, 12:15pm are formalistic.

Hi again Dave
Tried pulling the arial lead for 30% and it has worked. It has now defaulted back to 44 and Yorkshire.
I had a look at the strength of channel 22 and it wasn't good at all, so that is a no goer.
So again my thanks for getting me back.
Kind regards Geoff

Hi Geoff
Using Technomate and following the 28 Sept switch I have low in BBC HD on 10.487 which will not allow the tune to pick up these . ITV HD is fine on but no sound. Possibly a PID setting problem?

rosalyn thew: Although the is very low powered its still possible to suffer from slight overloading problems when located at just over 1 mile away from the , and the fact that the other TV's work OK could just be because their tuners aren't quite so sensitive hence can cope with that type of problem.

You haven't mentioned anything about your , but if you can borrow a set top aerial then you should try a using that, although when you mention you are using two other TV's then is a powered splitter being used? if it is then try by-passing it whereby the aerial going into it is coupled directly onto the problem TV's aerial lead.

My post code is M28 1SG which is about 10 miles from ( I can see the from my ) and about 40 miles from the north moel-y-parc transmitter. Since the change over I have experienced random loss for periods up to 3 seconds on BBC1. (All other are rock solid). I replaced the and the problem remained, I have purchased a new Full tv and the problem remains, I have since had another aerial installed (high 32 element) and the problem remains. Cost to me so far c £800. BBC denies any transmitter problems, aerial fitters can offer no solution. Can anybody. Perhaps I have a multi channel tuning issue as has been described in the notes I have read on this site so far.

Regards,
Mark.

we have just moved into TQ72TJ area with a Light present within 3 miles of the property.

We have no BBC TV/radio at all.

Please can you inform me whether this would be expected?

Thanks,
