Hi, Brian -
It might be worth your while pointing out that the historical reason why most people in Brighton & Hove get the Southampton-based local opt-outs is because virtually all the analogue transmitters you mention in the city derive their programme feed either by directly rebroadcasting Rowridge, as Whitehawk Hill and Patcham do, or by rebroadcasting Whitehawk Hill. The temporary digital service seems to have fallen into line with the analogue service, at least until switchover. And on the subject of cable, when I was on Virgin Cable a few years ago we certainly got the Southampton programme, but I can't comment on what's on there now.
