    BBC Prime problem

    Can anyone tell me why I've recently started to lose video reception of BBC Prime? Everything's O.K. for several hours and then all of a sudden my receiver tells me that there's no smart card in the module. To get the video back I have to pull the Magic Module out and push it back in again...

    BBC big u-turn?

    Join the club! If you live in south-western Norway you might just be lucky: http://www.satcodx-op.com/AST/eng/coverage.cgi?AST02DKB Otherwise, you'll have to be content with low-quality internet streams (44 kbps). Many expats have protested about the fact that the BBC have decided to...

This is not the treatment that expatriate Germans, Italians, Poles, Hungarians etc. get from...

    And you won't be able to listen to Radio 4 and the other domestic radios either, Gordon!

    BBC Radio Moving to Astra 2d

    Thank God that - at long last - somebody's actually doing something about this! The justification for discontinuing the pan-European coverage of BBC Radio 4, BBC 7 and the other domestic radio channels from the end of May can only be good old-fashioned British blinkered spite. And what will...
