BBC / UKTV all off air. Probs at TVC?!

I assume BBC1+2 digital as well?
What about News 24, Parliament?

5 live is still on air and presumably coming from TVC right now, so that must rule out a security alert..

Funny to think absolutely no-one in the UK can watch the BBC! (Parliament's back)

Cheers, Asa

Maybe BBC Television centre has been bombed again,
I hope not.
George was doing a bulletin.

I hope there are all OK!

Did it just go blank?

Does anyone think News 24 will be running from BBC World when it returns or something?

I'm taping overnight News 24!

Apology captions on 1 and 2 now, which were crossfaded up (nice touch).
Does that mean control has been transferred to Birmingham or somewhere else?

Every single channel coming from TVC in London is off everywhere, and DTT/DSat/Cab included.
