Gone, but a great testcard before it left (March 2008)

Musflash TV has disappeared from sky today (was channel 375) whilst channel hoping last night. I noticed they were broadcasting a test card. A rare sight to see now in the digital era, it was so old skool it felt like the days of analogue sky when you would always find them.

Anyway sky+ed 2 minutes (yes I'm sad) and here's a screen grab

There's all sorts of testcards to be found on manual tuning.

Caught this myself the other night too; wondered what it was there for at the time and didn't have a clue the channel in question had completely ended!

This one isn't that rare on 28.2/5e since Globecast uplinks quite a few channels, its seen quite often when a new channel starts.

Either that or plain old coloured bars or Arqiva.

Also your aspect ratio on both the screen shot and recording are way off.

The conversion to divx and the screen capturing software I use screw all the ratios up. They are ok on the DVD recordings themselves; anyway this was only a demo.
