Elsewhere, surprised they can broadcast the visual equivalent of dead air for so long before an fault caption pops up
Doesn’t TV “Dead Air” get overridden automatically kind of like radio does if it’s silent for a certain amount of time it goes to a backup tape. Or is it a case of if something fails to play and ends up on a still or black it will stay there until whatever is being output for us to see is switched to something else?
EDIT: I see we have had 3 breakdowns in less than 24 hours! 2 of which from the same channel
