BBC OFF AIR

he he he! I'm very notorious with cheese by the way, but now I'll never get into N6 without first being cheese-searched!!

That's true - I occasionally get 404 errors, but that's due to bookmarking and then not returning for a couple of years!! I've never once got a server error message either

gosh - i've been at a wedding all day and looks like I missed all the fun.  I shall find out all the details on Monday morning.

How did you manage to edit that at 2.48am when it's only 1.50 now?

News 24 DOGless and in 4:3 ratio

BBC ONE joined News 24 at 02:06, shortly after a late look at the weather with Philip Avery.  The crossover was somewhat boring, and started off in 4:3, with only the Clock DOG in the bottom left hand side.  14:9 transmission started at 02:09 with a slight aspect ratio change flicker.

Do we assume that everything is back to normal now?  BBC Knowledge is still to get its DOG back, but that's a good thing surely!!

BBC Choice - I think I have as well!

BBC 2 Nations on DSat ( EPG 964-966) are still displaying 'There is a technical fault with this channel...'

BBC2 closedown yet to come!

It would have been a great changeover if the BBC was about 1.5 mins earlier. Then it could have cut sraight from the end of Lady Marmalade into the BBC World headline bed which would have been a pretty good changeover imo

The weather presenter has just said something about a lack of graphics for the weather map and he's looking very very orange.

BBC2 closedown,

Pages From Ceefax, a bit odd..... Pages are timestamped at 21:22/27.  And the pages seem to be too far down the screen........and the pages seem to be stuck on one page

Sound/Music took a while to appear as well, a few crackles here and there, then the correct fader was obviously chosen!
