    Dunno about anyone else but TG4 seems to have been off air. Here at Truskmore it's just showing the white screen for the last four and a half hours while at Carin Hill it seems that the transmitter is off air completely along with the other three services.

    So what gives. Is it that something major has happened at Casla, it's network links have gone down, or a completely pissed staff from last night with the broadcast engineering department calling in sick? :p

    Was there a lightning strike perhaps? Brougher ATT was off for over 90 mins around noon after heavy thunder locally.

    It proves how few people actually watch the channel that it was off air for so long. Nobody noticed it was even off for 12 hours!

    Actually to give TG4 their due they had the new series of Nip Tuck last night before any of the other channels (to my knowledge) Back to back episodes too which was excellent if you like the whole plastic surgery thing.
