Subject: RE: Tech: BBC service removal?
BBC TV is, of course, on FreeSat, but that's aimed at the UK and I assume you mean it hasn't ben broadcast elsewhere. (I was talking to somebody just yesterday who lives in France and he told me that UK FreeSat used to cover more of northern France than it does now. I presumed that each replacement Astra 2 satellite has a more accurate footprint.)
I assume BBC World is sold to other broadcasters - I could get it in my hotel in Paris last week alongside US, German, Spanish and Arabic news channels.
Sky UK used to include German- Spanish- and French-language programs in their basic packages - that was probably 30 years ago.
