[Merged]Sky One fault 25/2/07.

Don't know how long it'll last, but Sky One's bitrate has been turned right down at the headend and audio descript enabled.

Edit: There's a semi-national TV fault, see page 2.

Looks like NTL's feed is okay, Telewest is foobarred.

It means it looks blocky, and there's audio description of events in 24 in effected areas.

Problems here in Wirral - Sky one just keeps locking up, going to a blank screen, then coming back on a few mins later

Re: Check out Sky One now...

Yeah, it looks like some kind of fault at the Knowsley 'head end' (Telewest's distribution point in Liverpool) with Sky channels. Worst timing ever, though, as it will start the rumour mongering.

Nope - the Telewest and NTL head ends both obtain the Sky feeds by sat. It's some kind of semi-national fault, as it's effecting multiple Sky channels now.
