Strange situation last evening whilst watching Ice Dancing:
The screen suddenly went black & then a huge " ITV i player comming shortly" and I couldn't get out of it. Then suddenly my picture came back intermitently but broke up again. My remote became useless. Many artifacts appeared on the different screens. Some were large Black Squares. Nothing seemed to work..... Usual turn off and reset still NBG. I got into diagnostics to check the signal but this just gave me a large square blob so I couldn't see the signal strengths so I had to give up. At one stage the chanels were changing rapidly (very). When it first happened I changed the batteries in the remote without succes. I then gave up.
This morning I turned on and every works perfectly!!!!

Would appreciate any ideas should this happen again. My very first reaction was that "itv player advert" should not be on there and screwed everything up!

ITV had major transmission problems during dancing on ice, unusually it was actually mentioned by the presenters during the show.

Many thanks Graham. I did hear their "fleeting" message but it never occured to me that it was a live transmission that had caused such a major problem. To actually screw up all other programs on other chanels including all BBC is unforgivable.

It clearly affected your box, my hdr just had major picture and sound breakup, it didn't affect anything else.

I think it may have crashed mine at the time. I left the room with the PVR switched on, and a few minutes later returned to find it had switched itself off.
