`
`In August 2009 the BBC came in for criticism after a change of encoding software resulted in a
`series of criticisms from some viewers over the quality of its pictures. At the time the BBC’s
`acting controller of distribution Graham Plumb said he believed people were focusing on
`reduction in bandwidth, rather than the improved processing power of the codecs.
`Launched in the spring of 2006, BBC HD is one of the longest-serving HD channels in Europe,
`and as such had continued to use the older DVB-S. When BBC One HD launched in
`November 2010 it also went with DVB-S.
`Sky, cable and DTT viewers will be unaffected by the changes.
