So what exactly is that thing on 702 at the moment (Freeview). There is one of those testcard stripey things and what sounds like athletics commentry. I can't see any MHEG on that channel and 701 (Fame Academy) is unaffected.

At a guess, I'd say it was a testcard with athletics coverage audio.

Well what sort of a reply do you want to that question?!

It was Restoration Interactive on Friday evening (2100-2300).

Well at least this week it didn't do what it did last week. When restoration finished BBC4 started showing on 701 - Fame Academy was shoved onto 702 then they swapped back again later.
