Last time I checked, certain clips were no longer available. Up to this point, everything was in perfect working order, so I guess updates and maintenance have come to a standstill for the time being.

Has the situation sorted with The TV Room, since that message has been removed?

Doesn't seem to have. This is just one of several broken links: Sad (Click on the unhappy face)

A broken link doesn't mean a site is gonna shut down.

Could they not be off for rencoding.
Taken from the noticeboard
"Clips that were encoded prior to January 2002 are of a smaller resolution and lower bitrate. We are in the process of replacing these older clips; it is expected that this process will be completed by late November 2005. In the meantime, you will encounter video clip links that are broken - these will usually include 'video-1' or 'video-3' within their URL".
The link you gave has video 3 in the URL. Presumably they fell behind due to the financial problems.

According to their blurb...

Quote:
Promax UK was set up in 1989 to help promotion-makers develop their skills and reward their achievements. PROMAX UK has grown in status in line with the resources devoted by broadcasters to the promotion and marketing of TV in the UK. Since 1990, the shape of the organization has changed, with an increasing worldwide network of members, supporters, patrons and friends. Our annual conference boasts a repeat attendance in excess of 60% confirming PROMAX UK as pre-eminent in its field.

There you go, a promo company who took a shine to the ol' site. Very high quality people attached so it's a good thing.
