ITV Sport lose pictures from Brazil

Adrian and co having to full again right now on ITV, in the London Studio ahead of the second half.

EDIT: Pictures have just returned in time for the second half.

This game is also using the superimposed advertising boards.

Virtual ads failed from HT, and I believe the HD feed has been replaced by Upscaled SD too.

I don't understand , can someone please explain why they use superimposed ad boards?

So they can put different advertisements out in different markets using the same pictures.

Virtual Advertising ....

I noticed Adrian was at pains to say it wasn't their fault, and that everyone had lost pictures, not just them!

The frame rate's been horrendous throughout.

Well, that proves that the stadium wasn't ready, doesn't it?

No, it proves that the feed ITV were using went down.

Which came from the stadium. Their broadcasting facilities weren't ready.

I doubt that had anything to do with stadium, I imagine it was a satellite problem.

It did seem a bit ropey at times - they lost the feed a couple of times and the the commentary feed distorted terribly when Clive and/or Andy got remotely excited. But no doubt teething problems with the broadcast facilities and nothing major affected.
