Strange situation

[denis567]

Does anyone have an explanation of the following.
On BBC1 at 7.30 on Mondays there is a programme called 'Inside Out'.
The contents of the programme differ, depending where you live.
Last Monday I set my DVD recorder to record this programme, which in the Yorkshire region was about the rescue if 13 lions by The Yorkshire Wildlife Park from a zoo in Romania.
I watched the programme on analogue and my wife watched it in another room on digital.
When I came to play back the recorded programme, it had recorded the North East version of the programme, on a completely different subject.
This has got me baffled, because we don't normally receive programmes from the North East, where I live just south of York.

I live just south of York but my digibox picks up Tyne Tees.......

That's interesting craft, my digibox picks up Yorkshire ITV and BBC1 North (Yorkshire and Lincolnshire) How far south of York do you live?, I live about 15 miles south and have a Selby address

I think I have sussed out the problem. We have 2 televisions in the house, one is a flat screen digital and the other is an older type of analogue TV, but I have connected to this a DVD recorder, which gives me my digital programmes.
I have discovered that the flat screen digital set shows BBC1 North (Yorkshire) while the other one shows BBC1 North (North East and Cumbria) if viewed on the digital channels, but shows BBC1 North (Yorkshire) if viewed on the analogue channels.
Therefore, if I set it to record, it picks up the North East and Cumbria programmes, whereas if I watch it on analogue, it picks up the Yorkshire programmes.
There is no difference with the two programmes except for local news items.
In case you are wondering why I watch it on analogue instead of digital, it is because I have a loop system installed so that I can listen through my hearing aids, if I watch programmes on the digital channels the sound is out of synch, by 4 or 5 seconds, whereas if I watch on analogue the sound is OK. I don't know what I will do when they turn the analogue signal off in this area, but that is a problem I will face when it happens.

Flippin heck Dennis we must almost be neighbours!

[denis567]

Why Count, where are you, I am in one of the small villages surrounding Selby

[Count-A-Strong]

Me too Denis but wouldn't like to specifically say where. But east of Selby.

[denis567]

Understood Count, I am west of Selby, so not too far from you, craft1948 cannot be too far away from us.

Oh I know where crafty lives ;-)

Well vaguely.
