Just a quick question.
The BBC4 edition of Sky at Night is 30 minutes long but the BBC1 edition

The easiest solution is just play the 30 minute edition on BBC1 then we can
watch the HD version on BBC1 HD.
Another solution is to have a simulcast BBC4 (BBC4 HD).
There's plenty of bandwidth on the satellite HD transponder - enough for at
least 2 more HD channels.

Me too! Why oh why wasn't an automatic channel redirect included in the
original Freeview spec? I can think of several use cases for that feature.

I've been going on about that
Whilst we are at it (given the demise of backstage):
- why does only the Windows Media Centre automatically put on the subtitles
when you mute the sound?
- why wasn't channel 888 a way to put the subtitles on?
- why are those people who are most likely to rely on digital text, ie
they don't
The other obvious solution is to just stick Sky at Night (the 30 minute
edition) on BBC HD.
There's plenty of spare time at night when the BBC HD channel is un-used.
