Yes, just checked my recording, first there were some adverts for a halloween program on the "Living" channel and then the Grub Smith program started.

I meant did you see it on CH 20.

No, it was all on my timed PVR recording of channel 98 from 3.00am to 5.30am

SNIP

When I checked, ch20 was blank.

Virgin 1 is a 24-hr channel.

I take it back - my EPG shows it 24-hrs but although programme details are shown when I tune the channel, all I get is a 'Back at 9am' graphic.

Yes the left audio carrier isn't working. I mentioned it last week and was told that some men in overalls are currently working on the audio system to try and restore it to full working condition.

If there were problems previously they've evidently been sorted. I'm getting normal stereo sound at the moment.

It has not been fixed for freeview channel 98
There was no sound on the left channel for the whole of my recording of the show last night.
It is not my equipment because the recording of the latter part of Early Bird which followed on the same channel was ok with full stereo sound.
Also, when both Sarah Lou and Valery Summer where each speaking on the mic, we could not hear a word they were saying.
Adele was also on again last night.

If admin says that men in overalls are on the case it's reasonable to assume that it's not your equipment.

I included that info about my equipment in my post because vila had said that the problem had been fixed.
I was just making it absolutely clear that there is still a problem.

Yes there's still a problem. I don't know why vila thought it had been fixed, unless it's an intermittent problem.

Not sure I know what you mean by the 'latter part' of Early Bird following Bang Babes. I thought Early Bird is the morning show and doesn't start until Bang Babes has finished.

Whatever the case may be with that, if you look at the timing of my edit I was watching the girl who took over on the bed after 5:30. It appeared to be a seamless continuation of the Bang Babes transmission and I wasn't aware of any change in the audio.

The latter part of Early Bird show was the last 15 minutes of the show, 8.45am to 9.00am. I recorded it manually while I was having my breakfast this morning. It had sound on both left and right channels on the recording.
None of the Bangbabes show that I recorded last night, 3.00am to 5.30am, had any sound on the left channel.
Did not see the start of Early Bird at 5.30am since my recording stopped at 5.30am. The only part of it I saw was the last 15 minutes.

Having been VERY disappointed with the first couple of mornings on BB Freeview (it was so tame, it was strongly reminiscent of early PL), what a transformation this morning! A great show, by Freeview standards (from what I’ve seen so far), with content in advance of anything Tamestation Freeview have shown, and best of all, only a day after she left Cellcast, Amanda was on! Great to see her with greater freedom to ‘be herself’ that she ever had on TSF (with the possible exception of the opening 40 mins of her TSF debut) – More please, Bang Babes!

Re. sound problems; yes, still no sound on Left channel, and no sound from the mics. Also, did anyone else get, for want of a better description, an intermittent ‘green flash’ at the bottom of the screen?

Now all we need, apart from the technical problems being sorted out, is a continuation of the content seen in this morning’s show, longer hours, and more of BB’s channels on Freeview (I assume that the BB2 logo means that we are getting Bang Babes 2, not Bang Babes?).

I wonder if Cellcast can be persuaded to drop (at least) a couple of their channels off Freeview to free up some bandwidth for BB?
