Underrated comment xD

R.I.P BBC ONE

@@tomhuh1249 BBC One broke down?

@@masterofthyyeetus5277 not as far as i know but i don't watch TV so i probably wouldn't know

@@masterofthyyeetus5277no

I wonder if the Salford studios are relying on wireless for some of its receivers/transmitters?

“I’m sorry about your mom”

Lmao

Iirc Didn’t the tower get struck by lightning

I remember seeing this when I was 8 and it scared the shit out of me for some reason.

I don't think so

Not me unfortunately

Same

xD

lol

THIS 😢WILL YOU ARE UKRAINIAN DAVID AND KOREA GROUP STAGE ROUND 1 ON SSSSAAAMMMEEEE MMMMUUUSIICC

You're right, Play UK (until ITV Digital died) played music during the day. However, the sounds that ITV/BBC/Channel 4/ Five are original works and are specifically designed to provide entertainment while things preform breathen't.

I have too

I didn’t but I saw the semi final the day after on ITV2

Did you

Same here I was watching it on a school night and in my brain just said: school night wasted!

As far as I know, that "programme offline" screen never showed-up on our TV, and we had Virgin Media at that time.

I remember for us we were watching sky it did some strange colour bars and text on the screen

Agreed!

you just exploded my mind

Why bro got a point?

Seriosly. Don't be mad with BBC One 😠

​@Band yeah but I'm Russian but I have a good idea what BBC 1

The voiceover is done by shifts so one person in the morning another at the afternoon and then for normal non-live shows for the evening.

It's done from the Playout suites for the respective channels. Depending on the channel and which site the Annos are coming from, that may be White City, Chiswick Park, or Media City Salford.

Also they can't account for multiple technical issues, I remember once BBC News fell off air because their entire technical desk - where the change outputs, etc - crashed entirely and had to be rebooted forcing them to air a pre-recorded edition of the News.

Nope basically. You'll manage fibre for well fitted facilities like professional TV Studios or larger football pitches, but your average fibre won't do the 1.45-ish dedicated Gbps needed for a facilityline connection to BT Tower (aside from the fact that costs nearly £25K a year to rent). So if you're doing a touring programme like TBQ or QT, a Satellite link is the way to do it. Although LiveU IP links are now gaining popularity, having taken a big chunk of the Newsgathering market, and a smaller bit of the contribution for lower budget sports like Badminton and Hockey where Satellite would be really expensive.

​@@isaaclowe8177 Any basic internet connection gives you 15-20mbps upload speed, with this bandwidth they can put a mp4 encoded backup stream. Any Twitch streamer is a test case. And it's a backup, 3-5 seconds of delay is not a problem. LiveU is an even worse technology and now is widely used

@@asp95video Simply wouldn't meet delivery standards I'm afraid. We require 45Mbps aggregate for MPEG4-10 delivery according to DPP spec. And the delay really would be prohibitive because there's only so far out of sync the accessibility insertion software for subs and AD can handle between main and reserve inputs. Another thing you've got to bear in mind is the contracts for venue usage. There are more legal issues and vulnerability points than you might initially consider for venue internet access to the point where it's rare to bother unless there's a suitable BT Cabinet nearby to plug into directly, and often for events like this production internet access will be satellite delivered (although 4g bonding is now common with budgets tightening). In the case of the Big Questions the blame for the dropouts can quite firmly be put on the OB company who, while providing main and reserve uplinks, failed to ensure the uplinks were spaced and secured sufficiently to avoid the predictable wind loading. As for LiveU... I have no idea what you're on about, its the best product we've ever seen in the IP Video space capable of producing a good result on some *terrible* connectivity profiles. Other industry competitors like ATEME and Nevion really don't manage well unless they're on dedicated bandwidth. LiveU backpacks are miraculous, totally strap on and go walkies from the middle of the countryside to outside Wembley during a final. Totally sold me on an IP contribution future.

​@@asp95video it's not the delay that's the issue, there's no interactivity, it's the quality. Broadcast TV has a certain level of quality that's expected, you can't do MP4-style video compression on TV if you can help it, especially from the big 4 companies (BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5) or paid TV like Sky or BT.

It’s literally just terrible weather

@@Decoder0007 Nothing else? No malfunctions? No hacks? No mistakes? No nothing? Just weather?

@@direwolfxtreme6217 no p much just bad weather. basically all of what the uk is known for

I can back up the other commenter! The weather is just…awful. That’s the only way to put it 😂

@@chloebaker3151 I didn't know the weather over there isn't that good. I've always wanted to visit though.
