That's been shown a couple of times before as well.

Looks like Sky have axed the 2-5pm shift on Saturdays as for the next two weeks, documentaries are scheduled for 1400, with The Pledge on at 3pm as per usual.

It appears not. Samantha Washington did a single hour at 4pm and Kimberley is on now at 5.

There are graphics popping up all over the place during a press conference from Toronto. They have called the man speaking 3 different names so far and the live location keeps getting replaced by a date from 2015

This appeared at about 21:29 on the Sky News International via 19.2E during the breakfiller:

Definitely was part of the broadcast and not the text or style of the signal errors on my satellite equipment. Plus with 19.2E even in heavy rain (which it wasn't) I wouldn't get a low signal issue.

Any ideas whats happened?

More problems during Sunrise, they were still trailing the boss of Sainsbury' as due on at 07:15 at 07:25 and a report stopped half way through which lead to a 10 - 15 second silence before cutting back to Sarah who didn't apologise and just got on with the next story. Later on during the paper review it cut to ads in the middle of Jonathan speaking

Royal Wedding to be available in UHD.


I expect this will also be the case for BBC iPlayer, and the BBC feed may also be in HLG HDR (something Sky Q doesn't yet support AIUI)?

The BBC trialled a UHD HLG HDR livestream recently - in readiness for a summer of iPlayer UHD HDR content trials. (Royal Wedding, World Cup, Wimbledon are all mooted I believe). You'll need pretty decent broadband for the highest quality streams as they are likely to be well over 30Mbs I believe.

“We’re incredibly excited to be the first and only broadcaster to televise a Royal Wedding in UHD and to offer those watching the ceremony across the country expert analysis, innovative technology and bespoke coverage on mobile.”

Seems it's Sky only.
