And there was me thinking they'd ran out of tat to sell. :happy:

According to their website the last auction was due to close at 14:11, so I'm guessing they went off-air sometime around then.

Let's hope they haven't gone up in flames.

Back now appears to be an electrical fault.

all are only showing one channel

I checked this morning and they are off on sky too. Wonder what'S happening?

Another power cut haha gonna cost them a fortune

Oh well, at least they tried. Difficult to sell stuff with no sound, though. :happy:

There's something not right about this it seems very fake they black flashing screen the way one channel is on air the other isn't and there is just something not quite right a power cut wouldn't surely make your graphics go funny and James has just said "we been back for 20 minutes if we make 40 we should stay on air for at least an hour?"

The flashing of the screen was meant to be a joke.

Looks to me as though some of the equipment used by bid.tv has blown which has caused the loss of sound. They tried re-broadcasting one of their sister channels, but the re-broadcast also didn't have sound.

According to the BBC there was a power failure in London today, however it appears to have happened in the morning and affected central London.

Perhaps a cascade effect caused the problem to spread to parts of west London.

I don't think there's any conspiracy here.

its quite amusing and i applaude them for tryin to come back
