Flashing BBC2 DOG - Now

There appears to be a flashing BBC TWO DOG on screen now. How odd!

It's gone now, God Knows why it was flashing, it was getting on my nerves then.

Did you have a frozen picture for at least 5 minutes before then too? I can't believe no one noticed and put an apology caption on.

Saw the flashing DOG, didn't see the freeze frame... don't believe there was one in my neck of the woods...

And no one believes me when I tell them the DOG could come back at any time..!

Have heard whispers re: programme specific DOGs for BBC1. Although may be a case of Chinese whispers.

Yes the picture did freeze on analogue, but not on digital. Not sure whether whether it would be right to put up an apology caption given that most people now have digital tv, and therefore wouldn't have seen the fault, but I don't think it was an option in this case anyway. I believe the announcer apologised at the end of the programme?

Unless of course you can split the feeds so the apology only goes to the people affected...

Really?

I still tend to watch 1-4 on analogue, even though I've got Freeview (not 5 though, the reception is a bit odd here), and I imagine there are plenty more like me (heaven forbid! ), so maybe that point isn't so valid, Dan.

Yes, most people have got digital TV.

Digital TV is highly compressed so i watch channels 1 - 4 through my aerial....it will be a sad day when i am forced to watch at lower quality
