Hi all, Im new to all this! Anyway does anybody know where I can get a copy of channel 4's promos due to the launch and the Launch? Also a clean pic of the testcard that C4 used to use? Also does anybody think C4 might show old series of Countdown in tribute to Richard Whiteley? It would be good to see the start of Countdown from 1982. If anyone has any info then pls get in touch. Thanks Chris

The IBA's ETP-1 card

Were there not two versions of ETP1 used on C4 with a subtle difference - the tramlines on the IBA-CH4 legend that used to be present if the test card was originated from C4 pres or missing if it was locally generated from the TX site?

That's right yes, (and the same for S4C's version).
