Looks like ITV have had a breakdown - not sure if it just Central region or all over but a lot of people on Twitter reporting it (apart from myself).

Same here

Central News is OK here on DTT

Yep Freesat ITV (all channels) down North West

STV not screening but I can get ITV London on Sky Channel 973

Same thing happening on Virgin.

some itv channels are working on sky but 103 isnt or sd versions of itv 2 3 4 but the hd ones are.......weird

Central ok here on Sat and DTT

A cunning ratings tactic I reckon. Is it just me watching the blank screen to see when it will come back?

And cheap at half the price at that! Business model save for the win.

When will it return?

All ITV channels running ok on Freeview, but on satellite I'm missing ITV, ITV+1, ITV3, ITV2+1, ITV3+1 and ITV4+1

ITV2 and ITV4 ok on satellite here though.

i would hazard at a guess that a sat transponder has failed that carries the itv services that have disappeared. virgin use the same feeds as sky so it gotta be a link failure somewere............would have thought back up was in place thou. funny arquiva havent switched feeds or whatever

What would cause this? Must be something pretty major considering there is no breakdown music/caption.

Just think of all the goals we're missing right now.

Ohhh so that's why I cant watch the news on 103 Virgin Media but I can watch it on 113.

The channels are broadcasting as normal, The failure has happened much further down the line than that.

This is quite literally the longest I've continuously watched ITV in a couple weeks.

When will it return? Back before Emmerdale? Will there be some sort of acknowledgment of failure when it returns?

The drama.

I was watching ITV+1 via SKY and at 6.19pm it went off air. Same as ITV1 HD

Still of half an hour later

First I noticed was that Heartbeat went off air.

Channel 103 on SKY still not working for me. In the North West/Granada region.

or maybe they havent paid there sky bill! sky cut me off whenever i forget!

STV+1, ITV2, ITV4 & ITV London are the only ITV channels working for me right now.

ITV is back in time for Emmerdale.
