Fine here - though having come home from Solihull with visibility nearly at zero just before midnight I feel for your satellite dish stefmeister!
Red Button feeds suffering from some break-up as well sadly.
The LNB I got to replace the 1 that failed last year ain't as good & does seem to suffer more in poor weather, Will have to look at getting a better 1 i guess.
Noticed a lot of snow build-up on the dish & LNB arm, Grabbed the mob out the kitchen & used it to clear the snow off my dish & got the signal back :cool:

Race control online isn't working.
Same here, thought it was my computer playing up. I want the pit lane feed
I know it's not really broadcasting related but I find it a great shame that the comments on Lewis Hamilton's BBC column have already descended into snipes and arguments over tax:
Given that Lewis is by no means the only [British] F1 driver to live in Monaco I have to wonder what it is about Lewis specifically that makes some people consistently single him out for criticism.

If you're going to attend a PR photoshoot at a children's hospital, expect people to point out that your tax arrangements mean children's hospitals in the UK miss out on money.
It wouldn't of mattered if it was Lewis, Jenson, Di Resta etc......any F1 driver who lives abroad is going to get hammered on those boards. Unfortunately it's symptomatic of many BBC articles that the ranty 'DM' style posters hijack the topic onto something else. I remember one recently where a photographer was discussing how he took various shots at the Olympics.....cue the top rated comments about how the Olympics was an expensive waste, the atheletes were revealing in the afterglow too much....basically anything but the article in question.
I'm quite surprised it went down the tax angle to be honest, I was expecting it to descend into another LH vs JB fanboi ruck.
Then again it is after budget day, probably to be expected. As a matter of sheer curiosity I wonder how much tax is earned off the back of Lewis Hamilton merchandise in the UK, see if any way it balances it out (or makes some effort). I suspect the loss of tax vs tax raised will be disproportionate in favour of monies earned via merchandising. I believe there was something called the Hamilton effect and how his introduction into the sport and the ensuing LH vs JB pairing reinvigorated the F1 market in the UK and much money was made off the back of it. I full well can see why people would say he's a tax shirker, but I wonder how the actual facts play out.
I think what harmed Lewis with the tax saga and singles him out is:
1. He's arguably the most newsworthy British driver, the press do seem to enjoy needling him more than say JB or PDR. People like don't winners in this country, add in some confidence and it's all downhill.
2. Lewis wasn't upfront enough about his original move to Switzerland, it later drip fed out that reducing his tax bill was part of his motivations to move away. He if was straight up and said he thinks he'd pay too much tax I think he'd of gotten less grief for it.
3. F1 is percieved as a rich mans sport, the rich aren't in favour at the moment.
4. It's Lewis Hamilton, some people just dislike for being him.

Check again then, Arius - it seems Mr. Gorsjean had a Prancing Horse at his disposal

Im getting the 10fps problem on SkyGo, seems its not a new problem as theres long thread from.. Malaysia 2012..
Yay, well done the BBC! Thanks for listening...
Graphics have had a bit of a revamp though.
Font's a bit on the small side which I can see been an issue on SDTV & web streams.

To me. passive means something that is not active and something that uses a sensor and changes something else ain't passive.
This was on sky sports app race control midweek.
Some good and bad driving too
Did not have a problem with the changed graphics myself
Just spotted the first one - a bit odd how they promoted it on Facebook, but not Twitter.
It was James Allen.
