^ So who is doing this? Shocked I noticed this morning that signal seemed weak and was lost several times.


They're blaming a Syrian organization. However, here in the UAE, the picture has been perfectly fine so far all day. No interference at all.

Perhaps a discrepency between the sattelite you are using and the one being targeted and disrupted.

The following statement has been issued by the BBC.

Quote:
The BBC, together with a number of other broadcasters, is experiencing deliberate, intermittent interference to its transmissions to audiences in Europe and the Middle East.

Impacted services include the BBC World News and BBC Arabic television channels and BBC World Service radio services in English and Arabic.

Deliberate interference such as the jamming of transmissions is a blatant violation of international regulations concerning the use of satellites and we strongly condemn any practice designed to disrupt audiences’ free access to news and information.


Those of you who are familiar with the output of a spectrum analyser might see what the problem is here:

Apologies if this has been mentioned in previous threads, but am I correct in thinking BBC WORLD NEWS begins transmitting from NBH this week?

I hope it's in HD, BBC News need to get away from these rectangle barco sets, and maybe this new place will provide the trick I hope it will be in HD as well.

Does any body know where the will Overnights come from during
A - The Interlude period between WN moving in and NC moving in.
B - When they both are at W1.

For the Second I'm assuming Studio C as the newsroom might be a little empty at Night.

^ I hope not. That will be the only chance for World viewers to see the newsroom set and even overnight there has to be some people there, especially now when they are all in one newsroom.

My guess on BBC World News' move date... 12th or 19th November.

Do we think they will all move in one go or will the programmes coming from Studio B move first, followed by the rest a week later?

Studio E could be used by BBC World News from 2am-8am. But they could equally decide to stay in C.

So this "Studio J" as its being called which is apparently next to the media café... perhaps they will use that for the 9:30-10 shift... thus giving BBC World News the flexibility to change its programming in that half hour if it should so wish? We'd also get to see the big ring thing as a backdrop.

It appears that Eutelsat Hotbird has been affected over the weekend, affecting various channels including BBC World News and BBC Arabic. Germany's Deutsche Welle service has moved over to Astra 3 23.5E after being jammed. Wonder if they could jam 28.2E (our satellites)?

Not a major issue, but I was a tad surprised that BBC World News led with the Jimmy Savile/BBC Enquiry story in the bulletin just now. Whilst a serious subject, I'm not entirely sure it's of such major Global significance ahead of other current events.

Furthermore, the lighting and camera angles on the bulletin were a bit strange just now. Almost as if they were trying to hide most of the studio and use very tight crops.

Even the major newscast, The Hub, is leading with Jimmy Savile. I'm perplexed.
