Meanwhile, the disruption in London yesterday (which quite honestly is nothing new or a unique experience for everybody else outside of the London region !) will only serve to drive people to other forms of domestic delivery; satellite, cable, and 'streaming', possibly further eroding the 'case' for DTT.

I've still got Com 7 but have lost Com 8. I actually live in Crystal Palace too...
Bit frustrating given until very recently BBC4 HD and CBeebies HD were on Com 7.
I'm sure there's some technical explanation similar to what has happened to Noggin but given I have 7 on ch55, very odd I can't get 8 on ch56. A manual tune of ch56 shows a very low and flaky signal but not enough to bring in any channels.

I live in Dulwich, with the CP transmitter visible from my living room windows. Using a Telecam TCE2000 indoor aerial, both 55 and 56 are 100%.

I've also got a cheap as chips One For All loop aerial in the kitchen, which is blocked by walls and can't see CP directly, where again all muxes are 100%.

Users of the platform will understand my question. Is SS Box Office subject to the same stuttervision as the live SS channels on the NOWTV get with fast action shots? I notice the image posted is Dogged 'HD' unlike normal SS content.

I could actually see Harry Hill working far better on the Generation Game than he did on Stars in their Eyes as it is a format that would allow him to mess around in a way that adds to the show rather than detracts.

As a matter of interest what tech specs is SS Box Office offered in on NOWTV is it identical (720p/25fps) to the existing NOWTV product or already in HD?

I imagine there’s reduced staffing and some of the specialized units (business for example) would be empty during the weekend that people could be moved to. From some pictures it only looked like the side desks (not directly behind studio E) were covered:

BBC London also used a virtual studio this evening.

However, the virtual studio looks way too crisp, and way too fake. ITV News does the virtual studio way better, and I'm not sure if it's just the backdrop or whether they're using better tech to pull it off in a more believeable way, but it does show up just how poor, the BBC's virtual news studio is.

'UTV News' branding on the gallery clock - a brand not used on air to date. Some 'UTV' branding in various other places. And curiously, the ITV brand colours on the glass of the gallery.

I've been catching these repeats irregularly, and I'm perplexed by how they seem to end. The show carries on for a couple of minutes after the credits finish, which I figured was just a practice that was in place back then. But tonight, the episode saw the camera operator pointing the camera anywhere and everywhere, at one point just shooting the floor for about ten seconds. Would Network have cut away from TX back in the day, or was this how TOTP went out back then?

Yes, obit packages need to be on the production system (ENPS, iNews etc) so it can then just be dragged into the running order when needed.

So the script will just live in there along with caption details and everything else needed to run a package. Sometimes the link into the package will be pretty written too,particularly in the case of where there's more than one obit package - for a Royal for example

It's 2018, very little isn't stored 'electronically'
