laura: If there is any snow on your dish, clean it off. Take care not to move the dish's position.

Sara Knight: Please see Compare Freesat and Freesat-from-Sky TV | ukfree.tv - independent free digital TV advice to compare the channels. You can't pause/play/record with fSfS (it costs £10 a month to do that), but you can with proper Freesat box.

Dave: Arqiva does have internal documentation about the full nature of the work they do.

However, this is highly confidential to the company and not shared with the public.

I automatically collate all available information and display it here on ukfree.tv .

As jb38 says, it is in the nature of a fault that it isn't planned and will only show up on the BBC's system when it has happened.

Dave: Just as an example, here is an old Arqiva internal document - http://ukfree.tv/styles/i….pdf - it is reported by the BBC's system as

Analogue BBC ONE Weak Signal; DSO related from 12:24 today BBC ONE Weak Signal; DSO related from 10:14 today to 12:12 today BBC TWO Weak Signal; DSO related from 12:23 today BBC TWO Weak Signal; DSO related from 10:14 today to 12:12 today

Everyone in the industry would love Arqiva to post all their internal engineering documents online, but as a commercial company, they are not required to do so.

David Poulton: In "the old days" there was a programme (from March 1989) called Newsroom South East which was the "regional news" for London, East Sussex, Kent and Oxfordshire, which took over from "London Plus".

These programmes were presented by the London presenters, ie the Nationwide presenters, from London.

In October 2000, the Oxford transmitter region was taken from NRSE and made a sub-region of BBC South Today (from Southampton).

In September 2001, Kent and East Sussex was taken from NRSE to make a whole NEW region called "BBC South East".

In October 2001, NRSE then relaunched as BBC London News (with the strange LDN logo).

Whitehawk Hill was never part of the NRSE region and always took BBC Southampton.

The BBC South East Today region was created following a BBC report which promised MPs in East Sussex and Kent a multi-million pound investment.

However, only satellite users in Brighton get South East Today because some of the "Brighton" transmitters took their signals direct from Rowridge. The re-engineering to allow these transmitters to all take their signals from Whitehawk Hill has been done as part of the Digital Switchover process.

It is work noting that Newsroom South East actually has an office in Brighton since 2001.
