    Hi all,
    I hope this is the right forum. But has anyone else noticed that on TG4 via terrestrial every so often the Sky TV guide pops up on screen and the odd time too you can seen the number 104 (its number on sky) being typed on screen. Now its not my sky interferring with it as i checked that out. I noticed it tonight and also last night.

    Hope this was not posted before I did a search but did not find anything.

    They use Sky Digiboxes for Backup feeds on Analogue at Transmitter sites. The "typing" is likely automated.

    I was staying in Inniscrone recently and this happened for RTÉ ONE, RTÉ TWO and TG4. The TV guide kept coming on and staying on for several minutes before being tuned to the proper channel or the digibox was switched off altogether and we had nothing but static! It happened quite regularly, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day so whoever was in charge, either man or machine needed a good kick up the arse. They didn't even deactivate auto standby, so that message was popping up to on occasion. One time one of the boxes was tuned to RTÉ TWO instead of RTÉ ONE, so we had two channels the same!

    We could also pick up BBC/UTV/C4 but they were strange, some were in 4:3, some in 16:9 and varied by programme, so something in 16:9 on BBC ONE might have been followed by a programme in 4:3 but it should have been in widescreen too. It was a very weird set-up. We could even watch the local church which had a CCTV camera in it, presumably for those not able to get to mass to still see it from home.
