BBC 1 Channel Islands
Gary Betreen
of the month when they move to the EPG along with BBC1 Wales/Scotland
/N.Ireland, when will the BBC in the channel Islands come on stream. The
channel is just black at the moment with the BBC interactive banner at the
bottom.
Nice to watch my old region for a change as far as news goes.

I was watching BBC Ch. I. earlier (about 14.00), so it's either
changed since then, or it's a problem at your end.
HTH.

How do you know which region it was? What was on at 14:00? Neighbours or
something? It was probably BBC London.

used to get there regional news from Spotlight South West from Plymouth but
that changed some years back.

Well now that you've asked that question I know exactly what time it
was, because I've remembered I was watching the local news. They
didn't even have a studio, it was just some woman sitting in an office
(as in, on a normal desk), surrounded by people. She was reading from
a piece of paper which she made no effort to hide :P.

How can you choose which region to watch?

They still do in the main. There's a sub opt-out at 10:30pm from
a small studio on Jersey. (AIUI actually at the Fremont Point transmitter)

BBC One South West (from Plymouth) is still the off-air feed used for BBC
One Channel Islands - though there is a sub-opt away from this at 2225 (and
1830 I think)
It was Channel TV (the ITV franchise) who moved from the ITV South West
(Westward / TSW / Westcountry) off-air feed to a an ITV South (Southern /
TVS / Meridian) feed (now by fibre?)
I believe that the changeover was a result of advertising disagreements -
Channel got more money from the ITV South than the ITV South West franchise
holder for rebroadcast purposes?

And during the 1 o'clock news too. I live in the South West and what
I was watching on BBC CI certainly wasn't Spotlight.
^_^
?! This doesn't make sense, I was watching it yesterday.

I've never seen anything other than a black picture, and the S+S box
saying "This is BBC Interactive" That's what's there now [21:12hrs 11/7 }
Are you sure you're not looking at BBC ONE CB, rather than CI ?
Gary Betreen
showing BBC Interactive. It maybe that as earlier in this posting the BBC
need some new equipment installed to get the signal back to Plymouth.
All the other regions are fine.

I get a black screen for CI now too, but I'm willing to bet my life,
my family's and (if they agree) the rest of this country's, that I was
watching the local CI news during Wednesday's 1 o'clock programme.
Hopefully someone can back me up.
Stephen Neal
Yep - but was it the real service - or a test of the sub-opt switching gear?
It could have been a camera in an office at Plymouth - or a test of the new
studio in Jersey (I believe that the Jersey studio may move?)
