E4 just went down again! I tuned in at 7.25pm to see BBLB to see a static E4 logo. BBLB came on early DOGless.

Now instead of ads a 'Programmes continue shortly' caption is on. Nightmare!

Now its changed to an animated E4 logo. A brief glimpse of a countdown clock there.

BBLB has just came back on early after the ads. Catch it all on E4+1 again in an hour.

Looks like playout problems. I would have thought it would be fixed by now.

E4 DOG is back. It looks smaller and no 'Live' underneath.

Just got an announcement saying they've got serious problems. Over to Big Brother Live (no DOG but they've got 'Live' back).

And now the 'Live' is back and the E4 DOG is gone!

And no Carphone Warehouse ad either. It didn't appear at the start, break or end.

They won't be happy.

EDIT: Now completely DOGless. They've used Big Brother Live as a fill-in twice this week. What if Big Brother wasn't on?

Would they be able to simulcast with C4 if there was no other option? Or would programme rights come into the equation and stop that?
