And so it begins...     Tue, 6 May 2008 11:30:48 +0100
More 4, E4 and their +1 equivalents went FTA some time around 10.30am. There's a FTA version of Channel 4 (London) on SID "8350", too, but that's been around for about two weeks. -- Paul Martin <pm@zetnet.net> ...

Strange Channel 4 fault caption     Sun, 4 May 2008 16:51:08 -0700 (PDT)
Does anyone know the source of this 80s-style blue screen caption? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMuyqfJxFCM It appears to have been generated at the transmitter site when its network feed was lost. I've seen similar captions on old off-air ITV recordings; they appeared on-screen after the channel had closed ...

Indiana Jones     Sun, 04 May 2008 16:43:15 -0500
Has anyone else been watching the Indiana Jones film on BBC1? I was uncomfortable with the picture shape. In 4:3 it was obviously wrong but in 16:9 it didn't look right either. Things seemed slightly squashed vertically. It was pan and scanned from CinemaScope, or whatever, but it was uncomfortable to watc ...

Wide chrominance blanking on Snooker     Sun, 4 May 2008 12:12:04 -0700 (PDT)
On the current snooker coverage on BBC-2, some of the cameras have a few pixels at each edge that are monochrome! Seems these are "Sony type 500" cameras - does anyone know anything about these, and why there should be excessive chrominance blanking? ...

Copper-clad steel RG11 or copper RG6?     Thu, 1 May 2008 18:55:22 -0700 (PDT)
Trying to pick a cable... and as always, budget is an issue. I need to carry up to 200 ft. (with change) of 1080i Analog HD component, which runs anywhere between 22 and 37 MHz (no SDI needs, at least). Looking at attenuation at 74MHz, it seems to come down to one of these options: Gepco VB1460: 14AWG copper ...

BBC Points West     Tue, 29 Apr 2008 08:29:36 +0100
Hi: This morning around 0600 for about 45 minutes, Points West was in chaos. First there was the usual lack of a feed from Bristol, so the London default came on. This happens several times a month (is it that the presenter is late or other more tech reasons?). But then something I've never seen before: the " ...
