Sky News | General Discussion

I want to say that’s more a fault of the type of robotics in the glass box. The cameras are tracked on the ceiling and can be lowered. I imagine the issue was that once the trolley moving stopped it caused everything below it to sway like a pendulum. The wobbling probably would be much less worse / noticeable if ( I am assuming) the telescopic arm wasn’t fully distended.

Anyone know why there was only one paper reviewer on Sunday morning?

When did they remove the business music from the financial report and replace it with the standard headlines bed?

I think it was an error - it faded out as though they were trying to find the right bed, but then just turned the headline bed up louder to cover.

The Pledge on at 6am

Edit - Stephen Dixon has tweeted...For reasons too complicated to squeeze into a tweet, we're not on air until 0700 today with Sunrise. See you then!

The computer system Crashed. It's all still quite new

I bet watching on a monitor in the gallery at Salford, the BBC Breakfast production team couldn't believe their luck.
Basically a 'free hit' at news between 6-7am.

Isn't this similar to what it was like when BBC News 24 first launched? The computer systems crashing all the time supposedly?

It's similar to every new computer system..... complex systems crash and have wobblys at first

The difference being News 24 could do it when nobody was watching it, pre-digital!

The difference was that News 24 could simulcast World while they fixed it, as on the first day in N6

Not news related, but I remember The Box crashing ALL the time in 2000/2001 after they moved to a new system. Constantally freezing and rebooting, and the same video always came on after it was rebooted again (and presumably all previous phone in requests were deleted- which would have sent people nuts in the post premium rate scam era!), I remember one evening seeing Same Old Brand New You by A1 about 10 times in one evening- and often it would crash again before it had even got through the video.

I seem to remember reading later on they used a Windows 2000 computer with a hard drive full of DV files to generate the channel.
