On 2 of BB's channels they are advertising that they have a freeview channel coming soon to channel 179, which is strange as the adult section on freeview numbers from 91 - 100?
EDIT: Answered my own question with a retune  now channels are from 170 - 199, so if you have not retuned then it might be time to do so

Sammi and Patti are on again, so perhaps we might get another reunion with the two of them like from last May?

BB seem to be expanding onto hotbird.
Babe TV XXX 11200Mhz, V, 27500, 5/6 Was the old asian Babes channel that did the late night show. |

Shame. Still, they'll eventually go out of business, as the campaign against them will indeed have its victory.

I didn't mean to make my comment sound like lecture and in hindsight understand your joking satircal tone of your comment and how Bluebird are seen by many though I have a friend that did work for Bluebird too a few years ago lol!
My post was just based on experience of these problems within work and these days there are sooo many different ways broadcasters send their signals from their studios, even within some of the big groups, no 2 stations method of delivery the same. Some of the babe channels based in or near to London I know have including Bluebird used microwave links in the past which have failed. Not sure now tho. I know xxXpanded tv use BT lines for their tv feeds. Who knows what went wrong and how. A BT line failure still wouldnt surprise me and sometimes BT's answers really are comical from past experiences. Bluebird are back on air which is the main thing. |

Thanks for the lecture, appreciate it.
 My comment was sarcastic, based on bluebirds history of blaming anyone but themselves for their own incompetence.

I'm not necessarily Bluebirds biggest fan? But that comment isn't really fair.
I work in broadcasting and there can be lots of reasons in a tv or radio station going off air, different reasons between terrestrial and satellite tv or radio. Having been involved with satellite radio, the technical reasons for a satellite station being off air would be similar be it tv or radio. I'm guessing like many other stations that Bluebird subLet their channels off another company. Do they microwave up link from their base to the company they lease their channels of or send their tv pictures via landline? It sound like this is the bit that has failed and could be down to BT if the landlines have failed. This happened at a commercial radio station I used to work at a few times and every time was fault that was down to a BT failure. Having worked on satellite radio in the past and visited Astra in Betzdorf in Luxembourg on 4 occasions, things can and do go wrong for umpteen reasons in the delivery chain too. I've also been at the old Bush House BBC World Service Control Room and seen things fail from ISDN to BT lines, microwave failure, power cuts and more. OFCOM will have absolutely nothing to do with any broadcast failure like this. It can and does happen in broadcasting all the time. Fortunately Bluebird are back on air which is the most important thing. |

Let's have a guess. I bet its not bluebirds fault that they're not broadcasting, probably sky, or ofcom, anyone but bluebird. Let's blame it on the debris that fell out of the sky last night, knocked out a satellite on its way down.

Thank God finally not all of BB's sets are beds only now. It's good that they have get back to some variety.
Maybe 2-4-1 will come back too. |

Victoria and Sammie are on tonight, so maybe we'll be treated to a 2-4-1 with them, or some POV fun!

I read that some people are having problems with the bluebird stream, so I decided to check it out
I haven't done any of these for a long while, so everything is a little bit new. the stream breaks after ± 30 MB, and needs refreshing, a simple click and the next 30 MB loads the only other thing I noticed was that Megan had to readjust her panties even more often the results of this testing can be seen here [hidden link - please register] , is bluebird as good as this every night ? update: there are a few browser freezes |
