BBC South?

[trentk69]

My TV has started picking up BBC South, rather than BBC London - which is a bit odd? I am on Barry road, so would be interested if anyone else in the area is getting this also?

Its funny, we get BBC London news but if you try to watch ITV its all central (midlands) I've no clue at to the stupidity of this.

Might be worth taking a look here to see if you can sort the problem: http://ask.ofcom.org.uk/help/television/terrecept

GinaG3, do you have an active Sky card? If not, it'll default to ITV Central on Channel 103.

Trentk69, it may be possible that you're getting your BBC channels from the Hannington transmitter in North Hampshire which can be received in parts of London. Check to see if "BBC One Lon" is in the 800s on your tv set instead.

Haha, no we do not. Were using an ancient sky box with outdated card as we only have a dish not an aerial. Free sat is much better reception and more channels than free view. That explains it!

We have Freesat as well. We can get BBC London, BBC South, BBC Wales, BBC Scotland etc etc etc.

If you ever buy a new Freesat box, it allows you to put your postcode in when installing and it'll put ITV London back on 103. There is a fiddly way of manually tuning in the satellite frequency for ITV London on a Sky box.
