Zeb: Shock of the New was broadcast in October 1982, it is unlikely to have been edited on film, the dates put it right at the start of the videotape editing era, so it probably doesn't exist in any higher definition.
Videotape editing was very popular as it reduced the costs and increased the convenience. Remember also there were no domestic video recorders at the time, and no satellite channels for repeats, no one could have envisioned that there would be desire for a "HD" version thirty years later.

Steve: In fact the digital signals are very predicable.
The reasons for the transmitter regions is that both BBC One and ITV1 started out as VHF regions, and the UHF regions were back-filled.
Also, for example, the Sheffield transmitter was only provided with BBC UHF services because Emley Moor fell down in 1969.
There's also the changes to the ITV regions that happened between some of the licensing rounds, for example Belmont moving to YTV from Anglia.
Also, there used to be competition BETWEEN the ITV companies, when there was only two or three channels. People in Yorkshire could also tune to TTTV to get a choice of programming, and many did.

Paul: I'm not sure what the reason could be, but it does give you Channel 4 HD, which makes you one of a very select few to have five Freeview HD channels.
Always happy to help.

The Pan: That doesn't sound right at all. On the BBC national service is transmitting from the new transmitter, so no other multiplex should have changed at all.
