DougA: In addition to Dave Lindsay's comments, the Crown dependencies legal separation from the rest of the United Kingdom makes it uneconomic to provide certain "free" services to the Island.

MikeP: As I recall, Channel 4 was *distributed* as 10Mbps motion-JPEG to the terrestrial broadcast points before the launch of DVB-T in 2008. But it was, of course, converted to "625 line" PAL for broadcast.
And PAL did have two digital components: Teletext and NICAM (sound).

Mike Davison: To be technically accurate, Sky was part of the British Digital Broadcasting bid for what became ONdigital.
It was the regulator that required them to remove their membership.
Sky were keen to have a "finger in both pies" at the time.

Lisa Davidson: The UK Code of Broadcast Advertising (BCAP Code) makes no mention of subtitles on way or the other. Broadcast - Committee of Advertising Practice
The last mention of subtitles by the ASA is in their Annual 2004 Report http://www.asa.org.uk/~/m…ashx
"The TV Advertising Standards Code is complemented by separate sections that cover: text services, appeal to children, scheduling, text and subtitles, interactive TV and the complaints-handling process that the ASA now operates on complaints about
broadcast ads."

Peter: Why would that be? BBC FOUR has never shown a Wimbledon match (as it's not usually transmitting), and it's not really CBeebies target audience either...?

Brennig : Without appearing rude, if you intend to use something (Twitter) you should find how how it works.

bob: I'm really sorry, but the bit of code that displays the com7 and com8 transmission mode had not been uploaded to the server.
