That depends on where you live, but my point was about how Sky+ works technically. It has no idea that some channels are variations of others, they are all simply channels as far as it is concerned. There is no special technology that treats some differently because they are related to others to prevent you watching them more than once.

Michael.

Yes but only if its a national broadcast

Wrong the superleague show will appear on sky channel 101 if you live in the following

North West
North East & Cum
Yorkshire
Yorkshire & Lincs

If you live in any other region and tune into channel 101 you will see some rubbish repeat you can then check the regional channels which are placed in the 900's and find a region that it being shown on

Wrong.

I was watching 101 in Durham absolutely definitely in NE and Cum and it was NOT on.

No doubt some smart @rse will now blame my Sky box.

You had better check you sky box to make sure you channel 101 is bbc NE
