Damage to hard drives caused by the triggering of the fire suppression system at the London base of Red Bee Media - which provides access services to large broadcasters - left Channel 4 viewers without subtitles for weeks, with casualties including the latest series of The Great British Bake Off.Accidents happen, and sometimes there's no one to blame. Eventually, captions will come back to All 4, but the trust Channel 4 has built up with deaf and disabled subtitles users will take much longer to rebuild. - www.theguardian.com

DTG's D-Book makes HbbTV mandatory for first time – Digital TV Europe

The Digital Television Group has released D-Book 12.6 - the latest update that sets out the technical interoperability requirements for digital terrestrial and hybrid delivery television in the UK, underpinning Freeview, YouView, Freesat, EE TV, BT TV and TalkTalk TV. The latest edition of the D-Book mandates support for the HbbTV hybrid broadcast-broadband standard for the first time. D-Book 9 introduced the optional support of HbbTV, but the ongoing transition from the older UK-centric MHEG standard means that the latter now becomes optional, while HbbTV is mandatory. - www.digitaltveurope.com
