Mind you, I'm not entirely sure where we'd be able to put a Slingbox in the Selkirk area!

I suppose the Slingbox would check the final bit of the system to make sure the feed coming from London is definitely reaching the homes in the Borders ;-) (although I'm sure you'd have heard quickly enough if there were any problems!)

Some when rescanning wipe everything off, and some don't. There's so much variety that it's almost impossible to capture every scenario.alanjrobertson - there's hopefully going to be a more detailed post from one of my colleagues, however it's not a Slingbox! Previously feeds were sent to the BBC's regional centres, and then local programming was inserted there and then packaged up and sent to the transmitter.For areas which have undergone Digital Switch Over like Selkirk, there's a new setup. The local programming is sent to London, it's inserted into the broadcast there, then sent to the transmitter.Because the transmitter feed is now generated in London, we can get a copy sent through to the office.The main reason we have it is to test the differences in configuration between Selkirk and the rest of our services. The content is the same in both set ups, but the infrastructure is completely different so in theory something could go wrong in Selkirk and, if we couldn't keep an eye on it, we'd never know.

Apparently the automatic rescan had trouble with the moving of the BBC Mux to the new frequencies.Do auto updates on boxes only scan the existing tuned mux frequencies? If so was this communicated in all the bumf sent out to residents? Fri 07 Nov 2008 19:52:45 GMT+1
