Scottish TV are having a few problems of their own - most of their last ad break in WWTBM had massive picture problems. There was then a gap of about 10 seconds before they presumably switched to another server (or however those things work...)

I didn't realise how centralised these services are, so it looks like all MTV european services are uplinked from London and distributed via satellite!

I don't think it's a problem with the satellite feed as the websites are also kaput.

What could take down websites & TV - both satellite & freeview?

There is a problem at the old TV-AM studios in Camden, must be a power failure!

Para1 is very distorted, Para +1 has moved from a green screen to purple, and Para2 is just black but interestingly the dog is still there.

Complete failure of the power supply systems at MTV's facilities at Camden Lock would do it.

Is everything back on Satellite (I can't access the Sky+ box at the moment)? TMF is back on Freeview.
