Sorry about that chaps. Seem the forum software is linked to the lighting desk in N6, turn one off and the other follows... Back on track..

Wow at the studio, eww about those titles...

A lovely handover, tissues and all, a beautiful 85 second countdown on the News channel, graphics are very fluid and nice. The addition of the clock on the NC has removed the only issue I had with the World News Astons. Studio looks AMAZING although the panning in seemed to cut the titles off too short for me. Overall - BRILLIANT!

I think the titles worked well. There are two endings almost, the one when the 1 forms up, then the one when it ends in the studio.

Only thing I don't like is the URL on the aston for BBC One.

The picture quality on the news channel is definitely better.

Shame it isn't in HD on there.

So, did we miss anything? Sorry about that, can't remember if real-time has been run on this host...probably not judging by what happened. We'll stick to the old fashioned way.

The new titles were crap. An absolute mess.

So polished so far. I loved the ending at Television Centre. Great ending with Simon and Sophie walking off set.

I thin the new opening to bulletins will take about of getting used to. I can understand the comments about the titles being out of sync and a bit dodgy. I think they should dump the newsroom shot or alternate it with a studio shot. I can see the excitement over the trundle cam waning after a while. It feels thrown together with the title sequence now.

The shots seem a little tighter than usual with having the smaller screens showing images/lives.

Lovely crisp picture on the HD. It looks like Ben in Baghdad is broadcasting in HD too.

Excellent new backdrop though. The colours are so vivid and easy on the eye.

Coming up feature on the One about their new home, including new technology they're using.

Sophie's standing up now!!

I wished they had adapted the WN titles for Domestic. They are simply superb...

The titles were a little different, but I thought the main problem was the title music seemed a little out of sync during the in-studio shot.

The studio, meanwhile, looks quite busy behind Sophie. Maybe a bit too busy.
