The amount of times you switched the box on to be greeted with a red dot in the middle of screen where there not enough power from the transmitters. Charles Allen and Michael Green!
@Ryan Parker Indeed. They were so hot you could make toast and tea with them! Also when I.T.V. Digitial said you just nedded a box this was before Analogue closedown 12 years ago. For I.T.V. Digitial you needed an aerial extension.
This reminds me of the Sky Q box we have now. It overheats, then shuts down, then overheats and does it all again. A family member eventually came up with the (not ideal, but does the job well enough) 'solution' of making little wooden blocks (akin to very short table legs) to keep it hoisted up off of the table surface.
@@thevampiregirl7529 The same with my old Sky Box. I do not have Sky Q but the issues that you describe are the same so you must surround it with a shield and put in a cool corner. Many thanks for your reply.
It was rubbish, the signal was poor, the best thing getting a refund from them a year before it collapsed. NTL & Telewest were probably relieved when it collapsed
Tragic? There was a debate about whether monarchs should retire by abdicating at the time and the Queen was absolutely against it. She always intended to do as almost every other British monarch had done before her and reign until death.
yes - a join on my video tape with a separate recording of what was then on an ITV Digital information page (that hadn't yet been updated), until it subsequently was.

@@127dot0dot0dot1 Old comment I know but to anyone else looking here: there were allegations, with quite strong evidence, that Sky News' owner, Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, hacked the ROM files for the ITV Digital service and leaked them onto the internet to encourage disruption to the service.

'No we're not, they're lying'
*some time later*
'We cannot operate our pay television service anymore, we're closing'

The boxes were so hot,they kept on freezing.

@@garrysimpson1395 yea!
At least the Sky Q boxes we have now don't get so hot that you are able to make toast and tea on them
ITV Digital was way ahead of it's time
Now ITV has a digital channel along with a mobile app

11:33 How tragic. The Queen really was adamant in serving for as long as possible. And she'd go on to serve for 20 more years.

In the end the BBC and BSkyB WERE the ones who picked up the slack. Though with no subscription charge. And no help to the football clubs.
And ITV has never recovered from this.
At least they didn't spend decades protecting pedos
i love the testcard f parody
Wonder what became of Sky News Active?
It ceased in 2010
12:56 i now understand why BBC called it as "testcard f"
F for fucked
The ominousness of their information screen saying "It is business as usual" and then just being dead is rather harrowing,.
There is no future in football, people got too greedy.
Or in this case, soccer for Americans
no@@Juancolon2003
Yeah, thanks Murdoch!
Watch Monkey And Al Of Johnny Vegas.
12:13 Sky News Active Ident then got interrupted by a ITV Digital message about it shutting down
yes - a join on my video tape with a separate recording of what was then on an ITV Digital information page (that hadn't yet been updated), until it subsequently was.
Iam still owed £100 from ITV for failure to honour the contract for my subscription.
Hope you get your money back
Phone itv

Why is it not?

It's better for outlets to be upfront about their bias than gaslight their audience with fake objectivity
bravo
11:40 That Didn't Age Well...
Wow adigital
bro copied the shutdown clip ofr cbbc and cbeebies
They shutdown because of soccer again!what the heck
That is sad
