I'm one of those people that has to watch TV from a transmitter that doesn't carry our local TV. So I get BBC West Midlands but live in the East Midlands. It would be great if BT could deliver the correct regional channels via the IPTV route rather than via Freeview. Do you think that this will ever happen?
Nothing official announced yet but it's coming but nobody knows when
It may not have launched yet, but we do have some details about possible regional services delivered by multicast.
Which location gets which version isn’t known yet. I don’t imagine they’ll add all of them to the EPG as they do on Sky and Freesat though.
Obvious caveat… these are just the services we can see testing. They may change before any official launch.

are a good few Freeview services currently being sent through multicast.
Very interesting, I hope that it launches very soon. It would be good to see the Freeview SD channels delivered in HD. Fingers crossed.
