Welcome to Selkirk, West London
- 7 Nov 08, 8:37 AM
There's a new addition to our office in West London. Sat in front of a green glass screen, where everything is surprisingly dark and difficult to photograph, is another part of the country. Selkirk in fact.
Well okay, the television of Selkirk to be accurate.
As we're in London, we don't normally get to watch Scottish Freeview, however Selkirk has today . To support this, we've had to set up a whole batch of new systems and servers, which will later be used for other regions making the switch too.
But how do you test that your new systems are working correctly, when in another part of the country? Well thanks to the wonders of modern technology, it's possible to watch Scottish Freeview in London. As long as you're in our office anyway.
As the sign above the Selkirk TV set says "You are Here. (The rest of us are 300 miles in this [southern] direction)".
