Was there a technical problem right at the end of the show?
My Freeview HD signal broke up in the last few minutes, I grabbed the remote to compare with Freeview SD and that seemed the same but it came back before I could check any other channels. Probably just the local Freeview transmitter but wondered if it was over a wider area.

Yes, there was - the public announcer apologised for it just after Strictly finished.

There was a slight loss of picture for everyone right at the end, I don't know if it was that.

It was only on the satellite feed for BBC One HD, I switched to BBC One HD NI (randomly) and it was fine. Weird.

My transmitter is Pontop Pike and it suffered from the sound problem. Like everyone else, I turned it up to compensate and almost blew up my soundbar when it righted itself a few minutes later. I wouldn't go as far as lodging a complaint. The finest broadcast quality available is consistently to be found on the Beeb. I think we can forgive a very occasional lapse, as I'm sure this was.

This was not restricted to Freeview HD, it also affected BBC one HD on Sky apparently.

It was a technical fault, nothing more nothing less. The BBC was not trying to rig the result. |

Yes the issue cleared during Anita's routine - we thought it was because we had recorded it and our Sky box was faulty and we missed the announcement at the end after the sound and picture broke up. Report to Ofcom? - Come on, these things happen - it's a live broadcast when all said and done.
What we should be complaining about is the lack of HD sound (Dolby Digital) on Sundays. I cannot think why this should be so, given the recording is done on the Saturday which is in HD sound. Sundays really do not sound as good and they should do! |

No problems at the beginning of the show with sound or anything else. The picture froze for a matter of seconds during the last minute of the show - a technical fault that was apologised for.

On virgin media, TiVo.
My HD sound was low from the very start until the first dance, I put the sound up, then it boomed in on the start of the first dance. Note at the end of Doctor Who the SCD Trekker, all lines are closed watch results on Sunday also was very low in sound. Seems a feed issue on HD only. Yes as the keep dancing titles started there was a slight jump in the picture, it was restored and there was an apology. All minor and all out if the way of the main show and dancing, remember it's live and the feed can go. |
