Why do they need permission from government?? Its not a new channel its different content on the same channel. like regional variations- there is no reason why they could not deliver in the way suggested

The current B3.1 software gets it exactly right in all these cases. Sadly the new Langley software seems to have taken a couple of BIG steps back.~Tristan
