That's interesting cos Virgin Media is still showing local news from Southampton in my house and that of all the Virgin Media customers that I have in Brighton.

Again, interesting. Who is your reliable source?

OK - Fair enough. However I can 'reliably' inform you that we get local news on cable from Southampton here, in Brighton, on Virgin Media cable.
Perhaps others here can confirm or correct this for me please and if I am wrong I can try to find out why Virgin Media have singled me out for the last 14 years or so to receive something different to the rest of the town.

Good idea. Just to confirm that at 6.30pm my news comes from Sally Taylor and the team in Southampton. I assume that this is what we are talking about here.

That was because I was trying to find signal strength and other information for a client. I'm BN1 5EH and have been since 1981. Sorry for the confusion.

But it IS in East Sussex so far as this discussion is concerned.
I have to say that I really feel for the good folks of Worthing and it isn't at all clear whether the BBC or VM have made this blunder but as a general observation I don't understand why the huge advantages in technology don't allow us to make our own choices of regional news rather than having them inflicted upon us by somewhat mysterious and unaccountable agencies.

I have to say that I really prefer the coverage from the South East. It better matches where I live and work than the old BBC South coverage tended to do.

I expect that BBC4HD will follow very shortly but given the type of material that it shows, i.e. arts, history, music, all manor of documentary material which would look and may sound better form an HD source it came as a bit of a surprise to me that the BBC would start with BBC3HD. That's not say that there isn't some good stuff on 3 which won't also be better for the up-grade - I'm just wondering why the decision and why one (either one) before the other?

So far it doesn't look as though the Brighton (Whitehawk Hill) transmitter is going to be broadcasting BBC 4 HD or the News in HD - unless there is another channel up-date tonight.
