@licson 如果去wild camp, 有咩衞星電視選擇？

@disclaimer_here Any idea?

FreeSat

要買特定天線嗎?

After check, Freesat is using Astra 28.2°E

英國2030終止地面數碼電視廣播了

it is consulatation

Currently BBC/ITV/Channel 4/Channel 5 all use Ericsson's Red Bee Media for playout and distribution

With BBC News was originally inhouse and also moved to Red Bee Media

if DTT switch off i think a lot broadcasting engineer are at risk

But they just switch to streaming. Production is still there ?

?!

for a linear channel

there is a playout system

It is called Presentation

continuity in UK

Red Bee and BBC regional has a lots of distribution

unlike streaming can just have different feeds

BBC has regional transmission centre with people working 247 to deliver local content

especially news

they have 16 regional edition so even you are watching BBC One/Two it is actually a different channel across the UK

actually used to be 17, Oxford has BBC South Today Oxford Edition

OK you mean BBC Scotland, BBC south channels.

So iPlayer is one of the channels

But iPlayer have VOD concept, not just Live feed

yes but

the backend

has lots of people workinmg behind it

backend you mean the delivery hub like you said Red Bee Media ? (I just checked Red Bee this company)

So if UK shutdown Digital wireless TV broadcast, the playout company will still there, and they just feed to iPlayer or other new streaming app.

I am watching TV through SkyGo app, and I can bring my iPad or Apple TV to install SkyGO, and SkyGo over Starlink connection when camping.

And I checked 'Freeview Play' App is able to watch all TV channels in UK over internet

Freeview Play is free for charge

it’s just redirect you to TV station own streaming app

not all freeview channels are on it

WB Discovery channels are not on it

TLC for example is on FreeView DTT but not on any streaming

Oh yes, Freeview Play just redirect to the TV station app.

Just installed

So the only open is freesat or freeview over antenna. But this 2 options dont have UHD channels

@disclaimer_here Did you join SkyTV? SkyGo is also a streaming app

I can buy a used 4K apple TV and install SkyGO APP and connect to to a monitor to watch 4K TV channels (over starlink) when camping

Gor me, I am just thinking use SkyGo over Starlink or just use Freesat, both of them a Sat technology. (Starlink is IP, Freesat is TV broadcast)

Freesat TV antenna

i remember BBC UHD are not supported on Apple TV 4K

I watch BBC not from iPlayer, I watch BBC from SkyGO app
