Yesterday BBC2 went digital in the Granada region. The person managing the changeover said they’d only had 10,000 calls yesterday so it went well. At the time I thought it sounds a lot as BBC2 doesn’t get a big audience. Later I found that those who already have a digital box need to retune both BBC1 and BBC2 so it isn’t just a switch off. I thought I was clued up on this but now know I’m not. Just found that BBC1,2 and Sky News isn’t working on the box attached to my PC so need to do the retune.
There was a retune only a few weeks ago so don’t know why there is another. Sounds too complicated to me why don’t these boxes retune themselves automatically.
December 2nd for the full change-over. Can’t wait, I have an elderly relative who doesn’t understand the new remote and keeps using their old one and says they won’t watch BBC2 for now.
