what does this mean exactly?
At DSO in 2012 the BBC decided to move the Brighton (Whitehawk Hill) transmitter group from the South to the South East region. In order to match this on cable, channel 101 from the Brighton headend was also moved from BBC South to BBC South East.

The problem is that the Brighton franchise also serves the rest of the coastal area from Worthing to Littlehampton, that did not change region on Freeview or Sky. Hence cable viewers in this area were getting the wrong BBC region. With these new varients, customers in the whole of the franchise area have both the South & South East BBC/ITV versions available wherever they are located.
