Something has been nagging me for over a week now, and for a change, it isn't my wife!
I was fortunate enough to have my dish trained on 13E and my channel tuned to IRAQ TV on the morning that the war started.
At around 9am (GMT) Iraq Tv was knocked off the air and replaced by a test card, which I witnessed first hand.
Immediately preceeding IRAQ TV's removal from the airways I noticed the BBC world logo superimposed over the Iraq TV logo. It was only there for around 5 seconds or so, but long enough for my wife to notice it as well. Immediatelly following this was the test card which seemed to display a lot of anologue noise (snow).
The transmissions resumed to normal within 2 hours or so, and for almost every time since that IRAQ TV has been off the air, there has just been a blank screen and not a test card.
My question is did anybody else witness what I saw, or was it a receiver malfunction unique to me?
I'm not one to subscribe to every conspiracy theory out there, but can anyone else independantly confirm what I think I saw ????
