X Factor: 2011

or just normal tech problems as discussed in the ITV and STV threads - as ITV did go off air briefly during TV Burp!

Well at least we know they do have emergency tapes handy incase of big fault. I'm pretty sure there was a wide shot of the X Factor studio before the ITV 1 logo came up.

You can guarantee a show will get more comments here if it's off air for a few minutes than it ever does in a week when all goes well.

Is it sad that when I saw the static ITV logo I immediately knew what was going to happen?

From twitter"due to a power failure in London, this weeks X Factor has been delayed"

I'm guessing from these posts that no one heard the VO before the X Factor begun? Technical difficulties at the studio.

The best X Factor yet!

I've just seen a tweet reporting issues at BT Tower.

Brilliant!

From Twitter:

Major technical issues at BT Tower are responsible for the loss of #xfactor live show, along with other television distribution facilities
