ITV1 London

Just thought you might like to know that at about 5:10am there was a short switching break on ITV1 London and the picture and sound went all 'wobbly' then it came back on and it appears we were using a backup feed from Rowridge (Well Teletext was indicating it was being fed from there) and then about 5 minutes later the same thing happened with the picture and sound and we were back on ITV1 London Teletext from Crystal Palace.

Either this was a small fault or the engineers are up early doing some tests!

ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hmm... TVmole, I suggest you read the forum rules regardng pointless one line posts such as yours....

I take it that Rowridge and Crystal Palace are transmitters? How can you tell from Teletext? I take it that this was on analogue terrestrial?

Whilst on Page 100, press Reveal, a 3 letter abbreviation appears on the screen. That's where teletext is being transmitted from.

In my area, Teletext is being transmitted from the Rowbridge transmitter.

Aah, I see. I'll try that later. What's the abbreviation for Rowbridge then? I wonder what abbreviation I'll see (Sutton Coldfield)?

Abbreviation for Rowbridge is ROW

*Cue RTS for a cheap plug

Sorry to be picky but it's actually Rowridge (no 'b')... And I think the abbreviation for Sutton Coldfield is SUT

Whoopsie doodle... Thanks for correcting me.
