The BBC One iPlayer feed is currently using the old, Gill Sans stripe logo as the DOG... looks really odd

If they used the proper logo horizontally, the BBC would either be too small, or the one too large

It will be pretty much the same as what they are using, so as not to matter to anyone other than the most pedantic!
So make the two parts the same height! Simple!

In the early hours of this morning, sometime during the 3am hour I believe, BBC One was showing the BBC News Channel in 4:3 (squashed) with two vertical lines at the top right of the picture, like a pause symbol. What was happening there?
This was happening on BBC One South East and BBC One Scotland on DSAT at least.
In other news, it looks like The Big Questions is recorded this morning. Isn't it normally live?

Sounds like they were testing the D-Sat based RBS feeds ?

I saw something like that happen on BBC2 one night in 2009 about 20 minutes before Pages from ceefax would start. Sounded exactly like what you said, but there was no graphics on the BBC News simulcast apart from the ticker for about an hour.
Also was worth noting that this was on analogue. I switched from Waltham to Belmont and nothing was happening there, apart from the lack of BBC News graphics. I suppose the purpose of that procedure varies.

I thought the satellite RBS feeds that the DTT transmitters used were on a different satellite to the ones that Sky/Freesat punters receive at home?
Does NC1 stay in circuit overnight during the News Channel simulcast or is the News Channel feed patched directly into the distribution?

Yes, they are (never said they weren't)

My point was that David's observations were on DSat, so presumably the Direct to Home feeds.
If they were testing DTT RBS, why would they put the cue dot on the DTH satellite feeds?

Ah, sorry, I see now. I'd assumed the BBC 1 SE was DTT, but Scotland was D-Sat ?
If Scotland lost their main DNET feed, would they not resort to the RBS feed ?
Come to think of it, this might well have been the Disaster Recovery Centre being jacked in.
Didn't the Black/White cue dot appear in the days that Pebble Mill was the site ?
