That's right. Saying "this channel can no longer be received on Terrestrial but can on Freeview" is rather a contradiction in terms. Rolling Eyes

Incidentally, by that time, shouldn't Japanese TV and DVD-R manufacturers really have discontinued the design, manufacture, shipping, marketing and sale of TVs whose only built-in tuner is a UHF PAL one?

Quite why even most new Widescreen sets can only receive UHF PAL as a native standard, and still need an outboard connection for digital signals, is beyond me. Integrated TV sets need to come down in price, NOW, and need to disengage UHF versions of the same channels, to ensure that, as part of the Easy Set-Up process, viewers are tuned into the signal that will still be available after the PAL switchoff.

As these would only be going out on analogue surely they would be 4:3?

Surely they would be in 14:9. Isn't that the aspect ratio Analog goes up to?

But that would screw up BBC Wales who for reasons best known for themselves opt out BBC Two Wales Digital on the evenings for BBC 2W

As far as I know they could broadcast 16:9 analogue, they just don't.

I have created more but for the republic of Ireland. Note that the text in the TG 4 caption is proper Irish Gealic.

The problem being that, if you watched these captions through a normal tv, they'd look like this:

2 points:

1. I don't know gealic, i just got an online dictionary and tried my best.
2. I can never get the aspect ratios right on my pictures. I try to use the template from the resource site but I can't get the hang of it.

I did this mock a while ago and is designed to be transmitted by the Department for Culture Media and Sport on all channels (analogue terrestrial):

I also created these captions to be screened on each of the channels prior to switch off and would be shown along with trailers giving more details:

I think all five channels would likely have new idents by then! But those are good mocks, all of you.

This would be broadcast in letterbox mode, just to shut complainers up!
