BBC News channel audio last night

On the BBC News channel last night the adio had a sort of resonance, as if
the mike was at the other side of the room from the person speaking. This
was the same on all material, so wasn't a studio effect. It was like that
for quite q while, but eventually I lost interest.

Your TV might have a virtual surround sound function that has
inadvertantantly been enabled, this 'feature' seems to disembowel most
voices and make them appear to come from phase shifted reverbing places
they shouldn't.

Yes it did sound like the effect you mention, but no, this was on an ancient
mono set. It was from a DTT box by the way. Other channels were unaffected.

I heard the same. The effect was very pronounced.

It was just that particular program. I was almost moved to see if I could
find
an email addy for them, But couldn't be a'ssed.

I half wondered if their recording had set a flag for some weird audio
treatment which my very simple gear wasn't able to understand.

Sounds like the audio was coming through two different lines with a slight
delay causing phase shift problems.

By the way as I cannot see the picture, does anyone know why my auto channel
id in audio can no longer spot news 24 as that name? It announces unknown
channel now. Wondered if whatever is used to figure out what it is has been
altered.

Funnily enough tvs and boxes with AD switched on can sometimes give echo as
the broadcasters seem to have a delay problem if they feed normal sound down
the channel to test it as more 4 and earlier the five us did.

Anyone know why five life is now fiver, a damn stupid name for a chall,
almost as silly as Dave.

What next, a channel called Sharon?

Well there was a radio station called Caroline that did
rather well.
Perhaps we should adopt the US system of arbitrary four
letter callsigns, it strikes me as odd that the US public
don't seem to have a problem with that.

Perhaps there has been confusion between "five life" and "5
Live", with some people saying "live" instead of "life".

Is it arbitrary? I assume the FCC allocate them, in the same way that the
Post Office did here with 2LO, 5XX, etc.
