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

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.

I live in postcode FY8 2AL area and ubtil recently (about 3 weeks ago) had no problems in receiving BBC1 & BBC2 on my Luxor TV with built in .

I have tried resetting the TV to re tune the but this has not worked. There does not appear to be an option to do a manual re tune or ability to add a channel.
Has there been any recent issues experienced by others? Is there a solution? I suspect (but don't know) that the will come from Winterhill.

Paul Dyson: As your postcode resolves to a block of flats I suspect that you might be using a communal system and therefore that if the issue lies with it then it is only the party responsible (e.g. landlord) that can do anything to put it right.

Communal aerial systems are sometimes filtered so as to only allow through (frequencies) used by the designated . In the case of , BBC definition (PSB1) and COM5 (Pick TV, Dave, Sky News etc) are on previously unused channels hence for that reason it may require adjustment.
