Ahh its done at the head end, I was wondering how else you'd do video previews across several mux's! Now I think about it, I do remember someone doing something along these lines at my college a few years ago on a local DVB-C system. I don't know why Sky would be so against it, after all there are some services on Sky which use a similar principle for full screen video. NHS direct for instance is based on a number of quad-split video feeds which are then enlarged by the set-top box at the user end. Perhaps its changed now but it was still being done like that in January. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
