Reception from Crystal Palace was, as you can see, perfect:

Test Card W still hasn't appeared since the 2004 tests! Will it ever be seen again?

Not a very clean opt from News24 to TCJ here in Emley land - picture broke up and was replaced by the last few seconds on N24 repeated before it broke up and went to TCJ.

There isn't a site somewhere between here and London using a digital receiver as a RBS is there?

I heard the clown jumped out of the TV set and killed annoying little 13 year olds. In retrospect, it's a shame that you weren't watching.

I saw the BBC TWO ident at 2.30am and the announcer mentioned the engineering work.

Did the announcer mention the engineering work during the ident on BBC ONE at 3.40am?

Did anyone record the idents?

Most disappointed - I totally forgot until this morning.
Saying that it doesn't sound much different to last year.

...or most years. At the end of the day, they put a test card up and make it go fuzzy. What were you expecting? Carol to have made an extra move on the blackboard?

afternoon all,

My analouge service comes from Caradon Hill transmitter, (South West) now i did get the image. but i couldn't see all of the coulour bars at the top, nor could i see the train properties at the bottom or the sides.

Could this be that my TV is incorectly set up or maybe just the signal?

Could any one tell me?
