BBC News HD (720P)

BBC News HD (720P) ranks 19 among 466 stations in the United Kingdom. High enough that the country hub carries it in its own tables, and far enough from the head that the neighbours below are a genuinely different set of stations from the famous ones.

BBC News HD (720P) has 37 recorded opens in the public directory, which is a real number by the standards of this data set. Most entries never reach double figures, so a count at this level means the stream has been found and played repeatedly by people using directory clients rather than the broadcaster's own site.

England is the station's own leading tag and no other entry in the United Kingdom uses it that way. Worth reading as self-description: the directory takes tags as broadcasters type them and does not reconcile them.

This one is HLS, a segmented format rather than a single continuous stream. It is worth knowing because the failure is specific and fixable rather than a dead station: the address works, the browser just cannot open that shape of address unaided.

The station's site is at bbc.co.uk, which sits under the .uk country domain rather than the United Kingdom's. That mismatch is usually mundane, a host or a parent organisation registered elsewhere, and it is the kind of small inconsistency worth seeing rather than smoothing over.
