Is this as incomprehensible as their last one. I don't want a headache.

I think this one is written quite well. It distinguishes fairly well
between changes that relate to terrestrial and those which relate to satellite, and explains the benefit (no "please retune" slate on BBC1
HD during regional news). It also explains why BBC SD channels are
ending on satellite (lack of bandwidth for both SD and HD regional variations).
It's worth reading.

Not every viewer, because not every region will have had their studio upgraded to HD by then.
What they should say is ; '...will be able to watch local BBC One

Ah, I thought that by now all the regions' news studios had been
upgraded to HD, and that the final link in the change was the ability
to broadcast those signals rather than a down-converted SD version.

No, some of the studios will still be SD by the time the HD versions launch
Definitely HD:-
London
Plymouth
Salford
Southampton.
Last I heard (which was a 6 months ago) was Newcastle was being upgraded.
The others, I don't know what their status is. Places like Leeds,
Tunbridge Wells and Norwich are totally knackered with 20+ year old SD kit
And there's not much point Birmingham being upgraded because it's moving
to a new site in 2026, unless there's something that can be lashed up in
the meantime.

Well, at least they have saved some money by ceasing Oxford and
Cambridge opts!

Ironically, I think quite a bit of Cambridge's infrastructure is HD !
I learn elsewhere that Midlands Today in Brum have decamped to a
temporary studio for a few months, so maybe the Shoebox is being
upgraded (before they all move out !)
As a viewer of BBC East (West) as they label it, I can confirm that the picture quality via Sky is appalling. If there is HD anywhere in the Cambridge office then it is not making its presence felt. That aside I think I am not alone in thinking havingthe entire region served from Norwich is a retrograde step. Still, what does it matter what the great unwashed think. We're only the customers. Rant over.
We are now seeing Swindon stories regularly on South Today because the
Oxford transmitter sweeps down into Swindon, and the Oxford opt has ceased.
