BBC One

As long as I can I have it back by teatime, please.

Wha, no frozen Hippos?

Note that the ident is the first to contain the HD tag, and that it forms with the logo, before going away.

The announcement sounded terrible on HD itself, all crackly and robot-esque. I've heard it happen to continuity announcements once or twice before on BBC1 HD.

Curses and damnation to BBC ONE HD!!

[Video removed - replaced with edited version with corrected sound!]

There's been a weird sound fault at the start of the last two episodes of EastEnders on BBC1. An odd crackling noise that varies in line with loudness of the programme audio - mainly apparent during the opening music and when characters are speaking. On both nights, it disappeared about a minute or so into the programme.

I've watched a few programmes on BBC1 over the last few nights but this odd problem only seems to have affected EastEnders.

It has also been reported on the TX-List mailing list.

Any ideas?

IIRC it happened over the ident and intro to the last Dr Who on One HD - just as it happened above - lasting a few seconds into Frozen Planet.

Breakdown during the Sign Zone this evening. Very apologetic announcer accompanied by some very soothing music!

Well, I'm sure that will have calmed down all the irate deaf persons watching.

I did think it somewhat ironic after the previous discussion on the last breakdown that all I saw displayed on screen this time was tonight's menu, rather than an apology caption. However, I didn't see the initial point at which the programme failed, so there may have been one at the start, but certainly none after.

This will make a good christmas idiot:

Frozen Planet is a good show by the way

I think we have enough idiots around here thank you very much!
