As I say I get BBC south today news room.... What newsroom do you get in Winchester? Ben Piddington http://www.buckscaching.co.uk I don't think it is possible for anyone outside the region to get this program. The only possibility as far as I can see is if somebody can find a way to hack the extra channels on satellite recievers in the same way as you can with ITV regions. The areas around the BBC south region might be able to tune into the South region on terrestrial, but that will probably involve turning your aerial around. Might be worth a try though. It has nothing to do with BBC South Today (which is a news program) so sorry Ben, that wont help you.

Team Tate Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 I have looked into the possibility of trying to re-tune a (Sky Digital) satellite receiver for each of the BBC regions, which I have already done with ITV. Unfortunately, BBC 'regions' are not on satellite yet. This will be happening (apparently) some time during 2003. This was confirmed when I checked out the channel listing on the Astra-SES website. BBC London, Wales, NI and Scotland are the only choices! Ho Humm... (PS - Happy Christmas!) Team Tate Remember - if it's moving, it's not dead... Quote Link to comment

+Richard & Beth Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Ben is possibly right, BBC South have two newsrooms, one in Southampton, the other in Oxford, however only the BBC South Southampton Newsroom goes out on the regional news feed on Sky. If you get BBC South local news on terrestrial you should be able to get the right Inside Out. The BBC only do regional feeds for selected regions in the evening regional news slot on a weekday, Inside Out goes out outside those times, so although you'll get a version on Sky, it will be the London edition rather than the BBC South version. The only way you'll be able to watch it is if your normal aerial can pick up BBC South (which mine can't, I asked for a tape after we were filmed). Richard Quote Link to comment
Ben Pid Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Well as I say I get the BBC South today newsroom on my Terrestrial TV...

We are in Arborfield which is about 5 miles south of Reading. Whilst we could get BBC South when we lived in Finchampstead, we are apparently in a bad reception area in our new house. I had a specialist guy come out, who eventually, got us a half decent picture from Crystal Palace (i.e. London) by using a booster, but could get almost nothing from any transmitters from the south. Hence why we got Sky. It has to be said that the mobile phone reception is not all that hot either - I guess we're in a dip or something! Having said that we certainly can't pick up BBC South where we are at the moment.

It has to be said that the reporter told us they would "try to get it in this week". After a while I will ask the newspaper if we can publish their article on the web.

It is worth saying that if they do do a bit on Geocaching on South Today, Sky viewers all over the country WILL be able to watch it as South Today is one of the newsrooms featured on the BBC regional service between 6:30pm and 7pm. All you need do is push the red button any time after 6pm, and select South from the regional menu. Anyway, I have just got hold of copies of todays Hampshire Chronicle, and todays Reading Post. The Hampshire Chronicle has a small item with a soggy looking Tim and June. Reading Post has a FULL PAGE with pictures of Gulliver bear, Chris Packham, and a tiny picture of myself and Beth.

+Richard & Beth Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Firstly apologies for cutting off the top of Gullivers head, unfortunately my scanner can only manage A4, and the Reading Post article is a bit too big. The scans can be found here for the Reading Post and here for the Hampshire Chronicle. As to copies, Reading Post is no problem in Reading, but Hampshire Chronicles are a bit more difficult to find (only 2 copies in the shop I got it from around here) so one of the people down Winchester way may be able to help there. If anyone else wants me to pick up a Reading Post give me a shout - 25p. Richard [This message was edited by Richard & Beth on January 10, 2003 at 06:53 AM.] Quote Link to comment

+Adey1966 Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Hi Peeps Just to let you all know that BBC South showed the trailer for the Caching program after the News this evening, and yes Richard & Beth your wedding photo was featured (Hee Hee). Dan and Pid were, sort of, shown (it was dark!!!! ) and of course Team Tate were shown as the main attraction. But no T&J (perhaps their on the editing room floor) We can't wait to see the Prog on Monday. If you want to see the trailer again, I suggest watching the Local News and waiting to the end for the trailers for up coming programs.

+Kouros Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Just seen the trailer for the upcoming Inside Out... All I can say is, "Blimey!" - Geocaching *is* the trailer. Something along the lines of thusly... Some do it with their families - with a shot of Team Tate. Some do it with cameras - A few stills froms the cache cameras - didn't recognise faces as it flashed by too quick. And some do it at night - obviously Dan & Pid.
