Does anyone know how much of a "delay" the BBC1/BBC/ITV rebroadcasts are on?

I did assume it was to provide them in Central European Time, but of course that's ahead of the UK, as are Iraq, Afghanistan etc.

Maybe it's a delay so that Afghan/Iraqi bases get programmes at the correct time the following day?

It makes sense to delay them for the Falklands, but the delayed versions appear to be broadcast east of the UK also, along with the realtime versions.

I watched this video only a couple of weeks ago, which explains the changes they made to their delivery methods last year:

Nothing to do with TV, but when the American satellite radio service Sirius XM used to rebroadcast BBC Radio 1, they would timeshift the schedule so that it went out at the correct times in America, so for example the breakfast show was actually on at breakfast instead of in the early hours of the morning. I'm not sure how they managed that with the different time zones though.

They didn't. It was right in New York and an hour out elsewhere.

Yes I didn't do the retune but and wondered why there was no signal for BFBS Sad

Or (presumably) two / three hours out for listeners in the Mountain and Pacific time zones.

It was time shifted by 6 hours.
If the Chris Moyles show was playing out at 6am in NYC. It was 5am Chicago. 4am in Denver and 3am in LA. Same thing across Canada. 6am Toronto...etc and 3am Vancouver.

I doubt there will be any legalities since alot of the information is in the public domain.

Illegally cracked encryption codes posted on the internet are not public domain, they're still illegal and not for discussion on forums like this one.

Putting information in the public domain doesn't make acting on that information suddenly legal.

I was recently on holiday in Cyprus and they had notices in the villa saying as of earlier this year (March I believe) they were no longer able to receive BBC1/2/ITV/Channel 4 because "Sky had ceased broadcasting them abroad".

Instead we had Nilesat and their equivalent of Freeview if you opted for that.
