Digital satellite viewers can now choose to watch Spotlight or any of the BBC's other regional programmes from anywhere within the UK.

If you have digital satellite, you can now watch any available national or regional BBC news bulletin or programme - wherever you live.

That means you can watch Spotlight for the first time using digital satellite wherever you are in the UK.

This is a new BBC service, available via satellite, to help you keep in touch with news and events across the country.

BBC ONE and BBC TWO will still appear at 101 and 102.

If you have a viewing card it may automatically choose a service for your postcode, but you no longer need one to receive BBC services via satellite.

If the wrong service appears, or you want to watch a different one, simply choose what you want from this full list of BBC TV channels:
