There was lots of news feeds for the general election without moving the dish, just mainly count feeds although there was one clear channel4 feed which was interesting to watch.

Yeh was a busy night!

I saw trucks out there from Spain, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands and France. Always Impressive how they manage that.

Not sure - historically I don't think election counts are pooled that much. (As you need to put reporters in front of the cameras - and Sky, BBC and ITV will all want to do lives at the same time)

Some were definitely on SNG DVB satellite - but increasingly the BBC is using IP (including via VSat satellite Smile ).
