Seems they're having major problems with BBC Two at the minute. Caught BBC Two showing a static image for about 5 minutes, which I assume was there longer as NI was showing a filler when I looked. Returned to Animal Park about 3 minute ago but flagged as 4:3, which Wales promptly rejoined flagged correctly as 16:9. Scotland went to tech fault slide with no announcer at the same time England went back to programmes, which stayed for a few minutes before rejoining animal park. When the filler finished NI decided to show a repeat of Coast.

Given how its being handled, I suspect BBC Two has been moved to the redundant playout centre, with the nations that have rejoined picking it up off air, which it would appear NI can't do.

Yep still a 16:9 picture in 4:3 frame at the moment

Oh dear. Spotted a further breakdown caption, which then got pillarboxed, before the programme resumed. BBC One doesn't seem to be having a good day either.

Maybe something bigger:

Apologies if you noticed an issue with our channel just then - there was a wider network broadcasting issue. All should be OK now!

Heard a generic "This is BBC Two" announcement a bit earlier, and just now before the news there was an old school "This is BBC One", so yeah, does seem like a wider issue.

I was just about to say that, generic "This is BBC Two" announcement going into the second Saint film just now.

Wider BBC/Red Bee power failure on par of 2000/2001/2003?

There was no ident into the 12 noon programme on Yesterday - just a black screen and the correct DOG.

the "EXCEPT NORTHERN IRELAND (ANALOGUE), WALES (ANALOGUE) " appears on all BBC Two programmes which are on network - and have done since Wales and NI gave up on their digital-only schedules.


Shocked Are they not aware that Wales Analogue ceased to exist a couple of years ago?! Rolling Eyes

This is because full schedules on the BBC website currently go back to 2007, when Northern Ireland and Wales did still have variations between analogue and digital BBC Two. Those defunct options remain in the system in order that those old schedules can still be displayed, as a record of past BBC programming.

Generic ident on BBC ONE HD, having filled the regional spot after the news with the News Channel instead of the standard red caption.

Also , no DOG on BBC ONE HD.

Generic announcement again into Doctors.

Also, I think it's time to split this into another thread.

Apologies over the ident on BBC TWO before the Weakest Link, yet still a generic 'You're watching BBC ONE' on the other side.
