BBC iPlayer now lets you link directly to your favourite scene in TV programmes 8:08pm on 15 Sep 2009 hmm care to explain why this NEW BBC iPlayer new Send to a Friend options feature option does NOT seem to be visably available any more ?

yet if you take the url and add say ?t=16m51s to the end it works, the problem OC is you have to do this manually now and its hit and miss,why did you hide these very good directly skip to options NOW?

What's happening with Freeview HD? 05:26am on 31 Aug 2009 Graham given its been ove rtwo months since you posted the original thread information can you Please make the time to at least inform the readers here...

what exactly is the status and supply chain retail readyness
of the DVB-T2 devices for the UK, as of today please.

from the end users perspective, it does not seem like any of the worlds OEMs are even geared up for manufacture of these required DVB-T2 devices, never mind actually able to supply to the mainstream Uk retailers, ready before and for the BBC's HD DVB-T2 transmissions in 3 months time in the NW from the Winter Hill transmitter.

if not Graham Plumb, the Head of Distribution Technology, BBC Operations Group.

perhaps SOMONE anyone? in the BBC reading this thread can at least find out the important information, and post back here to let people know this important BBC DVB-T2 transmission thread is not yet another thread thats been left to die by its initial BBC Employee...

1: regarding the EU Viviane Reding, the information and media commissioner's directive in this news item

"Regional mobile broadband to be created by EU following huge interest in the service
by greg on August 5, 2009
...
A number of European regulators have agreed to share out the spectrum they have more fairly, rather than auctioning it off to the highest bidder. This will allow the spectrum to be used throughout Europe for the current 3G mobile networks and the future 4G networks when they are implemented. This will give mobile phone users the chance to access the internet in the same way as home broadband users currently do, which will be seen as welcome news by many consumers.

Once the GSM directive, which was approved by the Council of Ministers, [b]becomes law in September the Government will have just six months to roll out the measures that have been outlined in it[/b]
...

does ANY of this "GSM Directive recently approved access to new spectrum for advanced data" spectrum as coveed by the 6 months directive Include ANY already earmarked UK Analogue TV spectrum that was for auctioning it off to the highest bidder ? and now the EU directive is due in sep 2009
, just a few weeks away now, how does it effect the BBC winterhill HD plans In ANY way before the 6 months timeline is need to be met.

totally unrelated to the above as such but:
2: regarding the DVB-T2 and your CC policys regarding content you produce were possible, were might we get a selection of High speed HD 1080P and the up and coming 2K and 4K super HD under a BBC CC licence BBC super HD filmed real life high speed/framrate content for free distribution and use for the purposes of AVC/H.264 Encoding and evaluation such as the limited CGI bigbuck bunny and Elephants dream are used freely today.

there is a real Need for a wide selection of lossless high speed real life, short sequenced 2k and 4k professional grade camera content for the worlds x264 AVC Encoder testers, can we get some freely ditributable content as above from you, the UKs BBC as the worlds first TV innovator to help us, if so were can we find it , a direct URL to such Current highest possible masters of BBC HD,2k,4k content released under the CC would be good.
