[QUOTE="kevjs, post: 898493, member: 257344"] Back in the day NTL used to take the regional channels off-air from the ITV Digital signals*. BBC ONE North on the Nottingham network showed this pretty clearly at times, a little bit of breakup here and there (despite the pretty impressive aerial array they have at their headend). I believe they now they have national headends they get multiplexed feeds direct from Sky and Red Bee (who run the BBC stuff) though. * I've always wondered where the Nottingham TV transmitter got it's analogue signals from - the adverts used to flick between Yorkshire, East Midlands and even London. Wasn't uncommon to see adverts for various Yorkshire places including Galaxy 105 one day, then London places the near (Heart 106.2 being a particularly common one) and then localish companies the next day. The picture flicking between 16:9 L/B and 14:9 L/B on different days also implies the sources changed and Channel 4 often suffered from MPEG breakup. [/QUOTE]
