Sky1 Stella Technical Problems

My Sky+ box broke down because of the Stella problems. Stella failed and Hustle said it clashed. For some reason it kept recording both of them throughout the night until I unplugged the box in the morning. I wonder if that's an issue with my box, or a problem because Stella failed and was replaced by the Simpsons?

I first remember it as the Off Air music for Sky Travel and it's also one of the tracks on the EPG music on old boxes.

PS TV Ark links don't work very well so had to go find it on the site.

This link is supposed to work but doesn't for me: http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/mivana/m.php?p=skytravel_ident_2004lounger&spl=1

Same for me - it seems you cant watch videos without navigating via the main content page, weird

Did anyone find out what was wrong? Watching on Sky 1 SD, the cut where they left Stella appeared to have a quick frame roll, suggesting that it was not being done on the Pres mixer.

I've just watched the affected episode on a friend's Sky HD box, and there were some sound problems on HD too, but nowhere near as drastic as the total loss that SD had. Then, a period of black, followed by The Simpsons. (or perhaps I should call it The Trumpingtons, if C4 are still carrying on that hilarious (not) game of theirs??)

No explanations or apologies, which is odd. As far as I know, Sky 1 has - or certainly used to have - a live announcer and a dedicated operator. Did they lose the Pres suite altogether?

There was a live announcement after The Simpsons on SD telling us that Stella would be on again the following day. I wonder if they would have abandoned the programme if it had been fine on SD and soundless on HD instead.

Did anyone try switching to the second (AD) sound track on SD?
