Was there a problem with the transmission of HD Freeview signals (BBC1HD, ITV1HD, CH4HD), on Friday evening of the 27th January 2012 from the Belmonttransmitter?
Our TV, a SONY KDL-46HX923 repeatedly showed a black screen for a duration of about 2 seconds, at random time intervals on each of the above HD channels on that evening.
Internet blogs suggested that the same symptoms were seen on many other manufactures TV's, and that it was due to the transmitter streaming the HD signal was switching between 1080p and 1080i repeatedly, also suggested was that some TV's were less prone to this problem.
What is the true cause of the symptoms I viewed on that Friday evening?
Was it a transmitter problem?
The symptoms were only with the HD signals, the standard definition signal on each of the effected channels was fine.
I would be very interested if someone could explain this please.
