BBC Two/Lambing Live Problem

Currently a problem on BBC Two.

I didn't see the program start, but when I turned over they had already lost sound and I saw 30 seconds of a silent report before BBC Two jumped in with the standard apology caption. This is the second night of this years Lambing Live and the second night they have had problems. Yesterday they had problems with the link and we had picture and sound breakup although I don't think it ever quite fell off air. BBC Two overlaid an apology caption yesterday and they showed the weather conditions that were causing the problems as they just have again this evening.

Now fixed - but it took a little while!

About 3 or 4 minutes of breakdown caption; standard Aqua / Seascape Ident design.

With bad looping of the seascape video. I noticed they now reverse the small piece of video and then play it again to hide the looping process.

It's gone again.

Yep, seems to be back and okay now. They did cut to the caption again, albeit for a matter of seconds.

Off again.

Who would make the decision on which apology caption to use? Yesterday when the picture and sound was breaking up slightly, BBC Two used a small caption at the bottom of the screen and we could continue to watch the programme. Today they cut away from the programme when the sound is lost even though the pictures were fine. Wouldn't it have been better to keep the pictures, even if they had to abandon the planned programme for a while and just showed a few shots of random sheep with a small apology caption.

And they are off again (audio and video lost this time).

They should just end the programme and put a filler in it's place. It has now gone off air 3 times in around 20 minutes.

EDIT : Filler programme in its place with bad sound.

Coast badly starting and back again, at least music can be played correctly

Anyone know whether this OB is being done via satellite or terrestrial links? When it falls of air it looks more like an analogue link than a digital one.

Ah the irony! The filler programme has had sound problems!

"Well I am very sorry, were having a technical problem with our Coast programme at the moment (Coast being the filler programme used on the technical breakdown) "

So is the weather is atrocious again tonight? as last, several breaks then as well. Am watching the football so am not watching this evening.
