I take it cos Choice and Knowledge are low-audience channels they are not seen as important as One and Two, so are not broadcasting yet?

Are One and Two coming from TVC still, or elsewhere?

Plus, are they fobbing us off with this power failure story or is it the IRA again? Do we know?

BBC One South East is still off air, along with BBC Two, Choice and N24 on digital cable, presumably that means DTT is off???

It certainly is - all BBC is still completely blank on DTT here.

So the problems continue - maybe they've gone onto emergency power but if News24 is still broadcasting it can't be TVC - they take ages to reboot from a major failure.

The BBC's emergency 159 page reports no emergencies and they usually report major failures or security alerts.

Where in the South East? I'm in Kent and BBC1 and 2 resumed their programmes at about 21.43 and 21.45 respectively?

Unless this is the first evidence of the Tunbridge Wells split?

And is it me, or is Ceefax behaving a bit oddly?

DTT is off - all channels here, but BBC One s/e is fine here - I'm getting my signal from Crystal Palace - where are yours coming from?

Looks like 1 and 2 on sky are taking the analogue 14:9 in a 4:3 frame feeds not the full 16:9 feed.

My DTT is coming from Midhurst, but no signal at all - ALL channels have gone down. UKTV still down on SKY digital AND DTT here
