From Wikipedia: The channel's annual budget for 2011/12 is 1,166.6 million.3 Along with the BBC's other domestic television stations, and many European broadcasters and some in Asia, it is funded principally by the television licence fee, and therefore shows uninterrupted programming with no commercial advertising at any time. It is currently the most watched television channel in the United Kingdom, ahead of its traditional rival for ratings leadership, ITV1. This system used a vertically-scanned image of 30 lines just enough resolution for a close-up of one person, and with a bandwidth low enough to use existing radio transmitters. - en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org link icon

How is the free channel paid for?

The £1,402m BBC One budget is funded by the £3,596m Television Licence Fee, and represents 39% of all BBC spending - that's about £1.11 per week per person.

Is the channel live, pre-recorded, new content or repeats?

BBC One has live presentation, and both national and regional are broadcast live. In addition the daily The One Show (7pm) is live, as are sporting events. All other programmes are pre-recorded and are almost always commissioned by the BBC and having their first showing.

What's the channel's unique selling point?

The is customized for viewers in Scotland, and Northern , as to a lesser extent in the English regions, and has the most extensive television regional news service in the UK.

The programme schedule highlights

Weekdays has national news from 6am-9am, 1pm, 6pm and 10pm and regional news at 1:30pm and 6:30pm. There's a daily soap, Doctors at 1:45pm, and EastEnders (Mon/Fri 8pm, Tue/Thurs 7:30pm) and Holby City (Wed 8pm).

The rest of the schedule is mixed, with factual (Mon 7:30pm, 8:30pm) and entertainment and factual/entertainment mix shows (such as Motorway Cops). Thursday night has politics from 10:35pm onwards, Friday night being entertainment only.

The bits to avoid

The morning schedule of Cash In The Attic, 11:30am and Bargain Hunt, 12:15pm are formalistic.

The house where I live is surrounded by 3 transmitters but I receive my from EmilyMoor and since I have retuned all I receive 51 including HD.
I have done a factory reset and auto retune, retuned with and internet-connected so the box is completely empty of . Then I did a manual tune just using the channels between 35 and channel 56 and I am still missing all the stations I used to receive before the changeover
All cables are checked out ok the only thing different is the transmissions
Any would be appreciated please

I have since thurs (20-02-2020) I have as required retuned the smart TV using autotune. Everytime it does not retune the BBC . Today tried using the info on web for manual tuning but still nothing shows except the information from the user guide. I supposed that if it managed to get the channel details for the autotune then it should, as previously did, tune into BBC channels wrong!

What process do you advise now so that these channels will show, site shows Winterhill is transmitting fine. Confused but hoping to hear good news from you.

Hi, rather than retype everything, I'll simply say it sounds like you may need a new for which you can get free from . But try this first if you haven't already Unplug the aerial and do an automatic retune. This should clear all previous tuning as no will be found. Plug the aerial back and repeat the retune. If you haven't got the BBC channels in their normal places or if they pixelate & break up periodically, read on.

Have a read of this first - Winter Hill (Bolton, England) Full Freeview transmitter | free and easy
