    At 1830 BBC One’s output splits into quite a number (16 by my count) of regional news programmes. All are available on my Sky box. Where does all
    the additional transponder capacity come from, and what is it used for the rest of the time?
    They're all there all the time, transmitting identical contents except
    when there are regional splits

    There are many more multiplexes available on satellite, here from my
    TVheadend

    Looks like my tuner on one of its scans has found a mux "twice" with a
    250kHz offset ...

    Yes, all on BBC rented t/ps, the only exception is BBC 1 South, which
    Sky code and uplink for them on one of their t/ps
