Last night's freeview show

Just logged in this morning to see if there was a problem last night.
I just got 15 minutes of a black screen recorded from 3am onwards until the recording cut out. I assume it stopped recording since no signal was received. Granada tv region.
Having just seen the previous posts, it seems it was not just Granada with a problem.
I was just too late to check if Early Bird was on this morning.

Early Bird was not on freeview aswell

Tough viewing choice at 5am, Tameland or a black screen.
The black screen won

I recorded both Bangbabes and the Earlybird shows on freeview , all i got was just a black screen for both shows (Yorkshire area) i also recorded chan 902 on sky last night from 1.30-5.30 and for the last half hour or so the feed was switched to channel 912 the freeview feed , Donna did the last section on 912 and when she started her last section did not mention being on freeview like she normally does or give out any warnings , Lynsey was on Sky channel 912 for the Earlybird show and i am sure i lip read her saying to the producer at around 8.45 this morning that she was not getting any callers now we are not on freeview .

nothing here in london on 98

It looks like there was some tech problems with freeview last night , just read Donna Dukes web site blog and she apologised for not being on freeview last night due to tech problems , she also says hopefully Bangbabes will be back on freeview tonight . "Babebanger" probably forgot to put the 50p in the freeview meter , or more likely they are behind with their payments for the freeview air time .

I have been informed that the problem was at the Freeview end, not Bangbabes.
I assume it will be ok tonight.

A good show last night, spoilt only by the fact that the mic was not working at all throughout the whole of the show.
It was 2 sessions by Donna and 1 each by Megan Cox and Cathy Barry.
First time I'd seen Megan, a welcome addition to the show.
Donna was very good in both of her sessions.

wondered why my recordings have failed now and then. thought it was the machine, good to know why,if annoying.

On one of my recorders, I have to set the start time to be 1 minute after the program start time. It fails to record if there is no signal which happens if the program is late and does not start exactly on time.
