It lives again

Never thought that this forum would be so interactive. Thank you.

Just as another thought, the app list on the website says MTV Play is available on 360 (it was meant to be added on 21st October) is that coming soon?

Re: VM TV Outage
 

haha , with a disaster like this I have to keep my eye on the forums .

Different channel numbers in England and Scotland , so im sat here watching it in GT Manchester and the Scottish service wasn't there , so i've just squeezed it in . Hopefully it stays on now :)

Re: VM TV Outage
 

I thought it was something to do with that. But at least it is another problem solved.

Must have been a nightmare few days (and nights) for you.

Re: VM TV Outage
 

I will find out on Monday Steve and let you know mate

Re: VM TV Outage
 

Just another one I noticed when you mentioned that problem
ITVbe +1 on 162 is black screen

Re: VM TV Outage
 

I thought that was BBC scotland , hopefully they will come back on in the next 30 mins , but after a bit of disruption :mad:

Re: VM TV Outage
 

I'm not sure if Crime & Inv HD ever got the slate, it was just a black screen when I checked. I mentioned the Asian channels when I commented that the channels had been restored. Yeah, I think the original check for content was simply a manual check through the channels, so missing channels not in subscribed packs weren't picked up. A later check looked for static video rates and / or absent video / audio streams, so was more comprehensive. A long day indeed.

Both being Scotland specific configurations. It's always a good idea to mention or report any problems with regional variations as any problems are less likely to be detected outside the specific area.

Re: VM TV Outage
 

100% agree

both services should be back on now

yeah , main headend moved over to a DR headend to restore service , the encryption changed to a different key server which needed a kick . So the broadcast was all good but no one could descramble anything and we couldn't put the services out in the clear unfortunately, this was kicked around 6-7 pm if i remember correctly
