The national broadcaster, funded by the TVL, is selling a broadcast it won't transmit to the people paying for it? You see no problem with that? Shocked


So you're suggesting the BBC is getting nothing in return for providing 4k pictures?

I'm suggesting the Licence-payer isn't!


I'm pretty sure BBC is required by law to maintain a historic archive of important UK events - a 4K recording probably falls under that remit

Sky News set looks wonderful!

With the studio on the Long Walk the layout has had to be changed. When the sofas were first set out there was a problem- in the back of one wide shot- portaloos. In the back of the other wide shot- more portaloos.

They’re getting host pictures of the service and half the parade in the same quality 90+ % of the audience would have seen them in. They’re also getting the half of the parade Sky are filming without paying for it. As I’ve said, it’s how pools work for events like this.

Looks like Sky's contribution to the pool is also the Sky Copter and the OB at Cliveden House as well as the above

Now will the BBC be producing the host feed from a truck of their own on the site or are they producing the pool feed at home. Where all the signals are satellite or fibered back to maybe Elstree? I’m curious because they will have all these cameras not just in the castle and chapel but a significant distance away.

And for their domestic coverage will it be produced in a scanner or treated as an OB back at NBH.

As others have said, it's being produced on site. Off the top of my head, there are perhaps a dozen UHD OB trucks in the country - and with there being no Premier League this weekend, a decent amount of them are available.

For connectivity, with a enough notice, you can get fibre anywhere. I'd imagine the main broadcast compound will be on someone's network, but there are a decent amount of sat trucks around too. I wouldn't want to rely on one or the other for a core feed.

If the BBC are the host, does it mean they also have 4K enabled cameras in place within the chapel? They don't appear to be broadcasting it in 4K anywhere in the UK. If Sky have their own cameras within the chapel, that would seem an unnecessary duplication.

It’s just ‘BBC’ cameras in the chapel, I believe the whole host feed is 4K.

That would be quite disturbing if essentially the BBC are providing a lower quality picture to their own license-fee payers.

I don't hear anyone complaining that the FA Cup final host feed is being produced in 4K but the BBC are only showing it HD. Smile

NEP and CTV seem to be the two main OB companies on site at Windsor. Telegenic are doing the match feed at Wembley, Arena ( using an HD truck) are doing BBC pres at Wembley.

Is it definite the BBC is doing the host feed? Anyone got an external reference?

There’s a bbc main feed at 12.5w encrypted though but VLC reads it as H264

Depends what you mean by ‘doing’ ?

Providing equipment: No
Providing the production crew: Don’t know
Holding the TV rights: Probably not ?

I mean providing the production of the main worldwide feed. Obviously the equipment belongs to lots of indies.

I’m sure it wasn’t a complete coincidence that in today’s episode of The Chase there were two contestants sitting beside eachother called Harry and Megan. The other two were Kate and Will.


If you watched right to the end of the episode, you could see it was definitely done on purpose.

You could just say instead of being weirdly coy about it. Things that might be obvious to you aren't going to be obvious to everyone...

Don’t know what version of Google you’re using! Anyway, it was a reference to something long-term members would know about, and I tend not to mention full names or companies now thanks to people on Twitter vanity searching and replying to your tweet unsolicited…


He's the first result when I search as well; Willy Hanson is known for replying to non-@ mentions of him on Twitter - a quick scan of his feed should show that to be true.

Where are the bbc feeds I can at least confirm if the feeds are in ultra hd
