    Never noticed myself...

    Perhaps the tv guides receive the schedules ages in advance to facilitate the page set ups and get em printed.

    Also BBC2 may mop up progs from BBC1 where there are over-runs or special progs
  • Hi,

    they probably use the London listings, then you have to search for regional differences.

    AFAIK BBC2 does not have any regional differences.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
  • Can't find any regional variations. Example, yesterday listed was 6pm "Digging for Britain" but what we got was Golf and James May repeat.

    The live golf probably overran & they didn't have the time for digging for britain, not a regional difference

    and Scotland, NI,

    scroll down to other, here (971), for Sky channels, also, if you have a look at BBCi, it will usually give you the London listings, but if you click on Full BBC1, Schedule, you can then set it to your local region.

    never happened to me :s
    Jo

    WHAT? :eek: Ahh.....:beer:
  • Also where do you live and are you watching through digital?

    My parents use built in freeview (as does my Grandmother) and they were both warned that if they didn't retune all of their TVs on a certain day (I think last friday) then the digital switchover would mean interrupted viewing/problem with BBC channels.

    This was apparently due to the digital switch over in the midlands?

    Didn't impact on me though so can't be sure.

    More info is available here: http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/when_do_i_switch - it seems to confirm loss of function if not using Sky/Cable.
