Does anyone know why last night, The ITV News Channel was showing a Black screen and saying: SERVICE OFF AIR - This service is off the air due to technical faults.

: I don't know when it started but it ended at about 23:40!

Which platform are you on?

And why were you sitting staring at a caption all night?

Was this not discussed, ad nauseum, last evening in the main ITV News thread?

Yes, I heard it was the cleaners fault. She unplugged the satellite whilst looking for somewhere to plug in the vacuum cleaner.
