BBC NI crashed out of the network feed to give a graphic and some analysis and then a graphic again and crashed back into network coverage.

Plus ITV's picture quality for OBs is perfect HD, the BBC's is a horrible blocky mess and they seem to be behind with everything. They were talking about Farage was about to come out soon and start talking yet ITV and Sky were already showing him addressing the cameras. As someone who would have watched BBC I may be tempted to switch now to ITV. Couldn't stomach Sky for that awful Burley woman.

After the technical mess that was the BBC's coverage last year I'm trying out ITV this year. Looks like I made the right choice so far

Sky a lot better so far. BBC had delayed Gibraltar decoration, didn't seem to cover the minute silence for Jo Cox and had Farage via pixlated webcam.

Most their OBs infact seem kind of webcammy.

Not keen on the graphics being projected on Broadcasting House - looked a lot better when they used to do it on TVC IMO.

Looks like the graphics from Elstree are a few pixels lower than BH. World had to remove their ticker because it was obscuring part of the results strap and you could see part of the UK ticker underneath.

Is the clock on WN then?

Sorry for double post, but also finding it odd the BBC aren't showing a %in and %out running totaliser - instead showing the raw number of votes for each side. I hope they change this during the coverage as Sky and ITV have both.

Me too. Time for him Dimbleby to bow out with dignity. Beyond rude tonight to Curtice and Nicholas Watt.
Thank god Andrew Neil is doing the US presidential election results.

What they've said is that they can't do a sensible percentage until they get a better idea of the turnout nationwide.
