Mark A.: "The World Service is the best way for the UK Government to give their points of view to other countries and bypass their media."
That simply isn't true. The BBC World Service is not allowed to represent the government, it has a charter of editorial independence.
You are right, people do confuse:
- the BBC World Service, which is funded by the FO and consists of many language radio services (many on shortwave and MW) and websites - BBC World Service - Home ;
- BBC Worldwide, the commercial arm of the BBC which sells BBC programmes and licences BBC formats to foreign broadcasters and also provide a number of UK magazines and DVD sales -
BBC Worldwide
;
- BBC World News, the TV news channel provided by BBC Worldwide - BBC World News ;
- BBC World Service Europe, part of the first, in English, carried on DAB and rebroadcast overnight in the UK on BBC Radio 4 - BBC World Service - Institutional - Can I listen via DAB digital radio outside the UK? .
Currently none of the above are provided out of the BBC Licence Fee, but you can watch some programme such as:
- World News Today BBC - BBC News Channel Programmes - World News Today .
- GMT BBC - BBC Two Programmes - GMT with George Alagiah .
- Overnight on R4 BBC - BBC World Service Programmes - Selection of BBC World Service Programmes .

Mark A.: The streams on the "BBC DSAT3" transponder, which is on Astra 2B has 11 defined streams, STREAM-0 (6680) to STREAM-6 (6886) and DEV-STRM-0 (6890) to DEV-STRM3 (6893).
They are used for the "OpenTV" system used to provide interactive services on the UK Sky system.
Some of these are full-screen video, some of them are quarter-screen or sixth-screen video.
This is because OpenTV provides support for crop and scaling use of the sections of video for interactive purposes.
No-one is ever supposed to see all six screen at once, they are intended to be used as six low resolution feeds.
Sorry about saying that the transponder was Sky-encrypted, I actually meant Sky-managed, as this transponder is only used for OpenTV content.
