Slightly related to pres - I've just spotted this press release announcing that the channels Channel 4 sells ads for (which includes UKTV and BT Sport) will use Sky AdSmart for targeted ads: https://www.4sales.com/latest/2019-09/4-sales-news/sky-and-channel-4-broaden-industry-leading-partnership

So does this include their own branded channels or just other broadcasters ones their Sales handles? If so, Channel 4 can close the unnecessary regions on satellite and have the HD version on 104 for everyone, the same as Channel 5 have done. It also means with the extra space freed up on their transponders, they could launch HD versions of +1 and 4seven like they have on Freeview or if anything increase the resolution and frame rate of their spin-offs which could do with an increase in picture quality.

Is anyone else experiencing problems with Channel 4+1 SD on Freeview? The picture has white sparkling artefacts, sound clicks and graphics glitches which are not due to a weak signal they look like a problem at source. The other channels on the MUX are fine so only that one channel is affected. It’s been happening for a few days now.

Anyone else see the Channel 4 ident parody at the start of Harry Hill's Clubnite last night?

I missed the very beginning so I wasn't sure if it was presented as a pre-programme ident.

On that subject, Digiguide has it down as "Harry Hill's H Bomb." Not sure when or exactly why the name got changed but it's surely a no-brainer in this day and age, sadly, not to put the word "bomb" in an entertainment show's title.

It may have been the name of the pilot. The same thing happened with Alien Fun Capsule which appeared on the Sky guide as Laugh Capsule.

What was the Ident?
I recorded the programme but unfortunately the channel 4 freeview recording cues tend to be at the end of the Ident so the recording began with the sponsor bumper.

It was after the sponsor bumper, at the start of the programme - a parody of the weird Channel 4 man rather than a specific ident.
