Sunday Brunch just went to a break and instead of adverts we got a blank screen. This may just be a localised Freeveiw HD problem though as Sky SD and Freeview SD are fine here.

EDIT: Channel 4 HD came back, showed a trailer for 'Man Down' and then went back in to Sunday Brunch as if nothing had happened.

Somebody on DS said that C4, E4 and 4Seven all had problems at about 9am on Friday.

Off-Topic - My son thinks a screamer comes up...
On-Topic - Hrm....instead of a black screen, they should have put a breakdown message....

Didn't people on DS say it was a transmission problem rather than something at C4's end?

Suggestion on DS was of a failure in Playout, which seems logical.
