BBC ONE ONdigital is now broadcasting in 4:3 with no letterboxing, so it's back to normal completely, but we shall see what happens when we go over to News 24

No, Hedgehog Online is fine. The chat room packed in. I think too many people tried to access at the same time. I'll have to wait a few hours to see the stats.

I know a lot connected cause after it went down i tried to see what was happening but my ftp was jammed.

It did take a few minutes to notice the difference between News 24 & the blank screen - they're both about as exciting as each other!

ONLY JOKING!

Much as I'd like to see an extended ident/N24 countdown tonight, I think the staff on BBC One will just want to go home!!

Maybe BBC One/Two Wales might have an anno 'well it's been one hell of a night' or something like that!! Smile

Cheers, Asa

As above. Thanx everyone. You managed to overload the tv.hedgehogonline.com chat room. I had 125 requests at the same time to post a message or enter the room. I couldn't even connect via my ftp to try and fix everything.

Well. It's goodnight from me too. The Chatroom will close in a few mins so all in there will get a 403 Forbidden Message!

Blimey!

Page 19!

When I was round my friends house, I was thinking to myself. 'I wonder if anyone on TV Home has noticed if analogue ntl cable in my area has gone a bit funny?'

Well, of course that was an understatement!

The Weather bloke on N24 just said, with a grin, 'Hopefully I'll be back in 1/2 hour!' Does this hint that there are still problems lurking in the midst?
