hmm. but how does that benefit VM, it wont benefit us for at least 3 years. And by that time, they might decide to sell there shares again.
Who originally said that there is some good news coming? which user was it in the other cable forum? |

IIRC it was someone who said that they were a VM employee (engineer I think).

BBC4 has failed to start today at 7pm.
Anyone know why? Is this just VM only? Currently showing the VM off air slate. |

Just checked both BBC 4 channels and it is running for me. Have you tried changing channel and back to see if it refreshes and unlocks?

Thank you, that did the trick.
The first half hour of my recording is now the the off air slate; can't VM do anything right? |

Erm....it was there, not VMs fault!
I tried the children's channel that it timeshares with and that had an off air slate too, as I remember that at one time CBeebies appeared on BBC4 during its downtime and BBC4 would appear on CBeebies during its downtime. |

I've now found out that it was broadcasting properly on the other platforms, so it looks like either VM didn't switch from the off air slate to the BBC4 HD feed, or it's another oddity that's appearing since the TiVo software update.

Been told this, so it could have been neither of my possible explanations! Quote:
could be that the tuner you were tuned to BBC4 on, pre 7PM, needed a channel up & down to get past the off air slate (barker?)
happens most often when you try and record the first BBC4 programme of the evening. this has been a bug in the TiVO software for quite a while, nothing to do with the recent upgrade. |

Yeah i noticed it wasn't put onto the EPG too, They must have postponed the launch then. But it was set for 4th though either way.
And as for if it is in HD, i hope it is, but i do not think it will be :P |

What do they actually test? Surely by now they know if a channel will work or not.

"Testing" is probably the wrong word to use as I suspect that the technical aspects are done to overcome any difficulties that arise whilst the legalities & carriage negotiations are completed.
Some end up on the EPG after a matter of days, whilst some stay in off EPG mode for months! |
