This BT Tower card appeared on 10E this afternoon.

Captured this just before the Liverpool game on Viasat Xtra PL 1. They just put the feed on these channels without doing anything to them, the same as they do with their Champions League coverage.

Heres one from 13E This is for tonights launch of Eutel W3B on Ariane flight V197. Similar to the other Ariane ones Ive listed here but nowt wrong with putting a new one up

Eutelsat put a special channel up called Launch W3B - and it had a moving colour bar tc on it - the bars were moving left and right - Ive never seen that before - and it looked VERY strange
!

And this one is from an RTL feed a couple of nights ago. My broadband connection disappeared just as I was trying to post it - a major exchange fault up in Edinburgh put thousands of people off line!

Herews a real bit of history. This is the famous Indian head testcard which was introduced as far back as 1939 in America!

Its got its own wiki page!

-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Head_test_card

Ive seen this one a couple of times in European skies, but it seems to be exceptionally rare here in Europe.

Apparently with the digital switch over in America many of the stations have been carrying this image as the analogue transmitters have been switched off for the final time!

:-worship

Almost exactly a year since I put this info up the Indian head tc has turned up on 13E!!

If you want to have a look at this exceptionally rare tc have a look at 12110V 27500 3/4 and find the "Free Channel" label
