I think you should have a look at this.

That's interesting to hear - I had always thought the weather was recorded with the sponsorship sting. I remember watching a behind-the-scenes thing where the sponsorship stings were in the pre-record.

On the News Channel if NTL (who handle NC playout) don't leave the ITV1 news gallery output quickly enough, you sometimes see the VT clock into the weather.

Yes when a similar thing happened last year, the ITV weather sting was part of the broadcast, but this was in the LNN days, but obviously not with ITN, by the way that animating globe used when the regional bulletins are on is quite good.

BTW this feed is permantly on 20 degrees W in 4:2:2 mode.

I managed to record a very nice amount of the 'proceedings' today, liked it when Nina was rehearsing and then said "...sorry, can we come in on that? I want you to zoom in on the graphic while I finish - is that alright? <thumbs up to cameraman> Great."

Excellent stuff, yeah I really love watching feeds. More to come @ 10.30, make the most of it, I believe a channel will launch here soon.

That "TBA - Chelsea Flower Show" line has been on for some time now, since 5pm?

Something called "Big-Game TV", apparently. Hmm.

They showed that after the clean feed for international subscribers, notice the difference in endcap, just a simple An ITN production with the ITN logo, but for international subscribers, they get the itn.co.uk url added at the bottom, also notice that it is 4:3 and not in 14:9 like it is on ITV1.

I hope I don't sound stupid, but what do I need to enter in the "Add Channels" section to receive this channel?

Go to Services, System Setup, Add Channels , put in 11.343 V on top, 27.5 and 3/4 in the FEC, I've heard that the channel that was meant to be testing has now started, although the sound of the feed can be heard, this maybe has been done to confuse the Sky digibox, can anyone confirm?
