Oh well, didn't bother me much, still enjoyed the show last night!

Its 907 thats right,the rest are wrong. i told charlie monaco to tell them, you have to edit all the caps in photoshop in order to put em right again! What a hassle! And i have to adjust my telly to 16;9 instead of auto, just to watch BB, then put it back for babestation ect,

Is anyone else irritated that all the BB (daytime shows included) are broadcast at the wrong aspect ratio?

Its obviously broadcast in 16:9, but isn't sending the signal which lets the Sky box or TV know it's 16:9 so it doesn't give the black bars at the top and bottom on my 4:3 TV and it doesn't stretch it out to fill my 16:9 TV. I have to do it manually. It's a real pain in the arse.

OK rant over

Rant on dude, youre bang(babes) on! Someone changed this a few months ago,dunno why,it was ok till then. surely theres enough inside people monitor this to get the tech guys to sort it out?! It has spoiled my enjoyment lately,constantly having to manually adjust as i flck around the 900's!

I see,(or rather hear!) that the sound is still off on the left hand side! Does this annoy anyone else? Tho they seemed to have fixed that line on the screen. The aspect ratio thing really needs fixing, its ok on 907(tho that has a lower res,so no screencaps there!) Anyway,charile monaco looks great,and is hardworking as ever!

I'm sure the tech guys here are working to get things back to how they were, if not better.

As for the photoshop drama, can't you use Batch Process?

Ive heard about that,not had photoshop long,and ive got cs3 with no manual! But im learning everyday,only had a laptop for a year,ive done miracles! Cheers.

Bangbabes channels still havent sorted out their probs with the sound! Firstly, they still need to buy better phono leads,as on each channel,a different side is off soundwise, plus the volume levels are all over the place compared to the others! I have to keep getting up to adjust my hi fi,(always have it thru the stereo- unless im calling!!) They still have some teething probs with the new studio, tho im liking the pole!

Sorry to be a nerd,but i notice BB still havent sorted the aspect ratio on any of thier channels! It is blatanly shot at 16:9 yet sending a signal to the skybox of 4:3 (see above grizzles!) Theyre the only station with this problem, and its a pain,as some channels are still only 4:3 so i have to resize the picture (if i can be arsed to watch babesation and some others!) so mostly i leave it on a fixed 16:9, and then have to turn it back to auto when watching normal telly! Surely they mustve noticed this? And im surprised nobody else has kicked off about it! Whats more, the sound is also still only on the right side on 912 and 959,leaving 948 ok.
When capping/vidding from bb, its imperative to get the size right,as you all must be aware,and as much as anything,its just a stupid error thats gone on too long!

For once I agree with you Stilettos! The people that run these channels are by and large clowns and chancers. It's very apparent that there's very little monitoring of off air sound and vision, which results in channels broadcasting with one audio channel out of commission for weeks, if not months on end, or horribly distorted (hello Bang Babes), similarly with regard to aspect ratio problems.

As long as people continue to phone and pay £1.50 a minute they couldn't care less
about technical or creative standards.
