Can't recall days long blackouts at any of their main rivals in the past. Still as others have said we must be thankful there are still two operators afloat right now.

Ironically it is Babestation not transmitting on tv right now on Sky. Presumably they are also having technical issues and haven’t suddenly imploded

Xpanded don't handle their own streaming. Just as Firestorm do the streaming for Babestation, there is a streaming company that do it for Xpanded. I don't know who it is, but that company is the one that needs a new encoder. As for how long to fix such a fault, it shouldn't take much time to configure a new encoder, as they aren't that complicated, so timescale would really depend on how long it takes them to get the right hardware sourced and delivered.
