I think this is different as it was across three different sources.

Somthing to do with the switchover perhaps?

Dog food ad drove me insane. I swear it was on for 5 minutes.

I have a Freeview TV upstairs and sometimes it almost freezes, like it's on dial-up. Even the menu takes about 30 seconds to appear. Then after a coupe of minutes it seems to work as normal. Bloody digital, it's crap.

Froze in the final 10 mins of Ramsey shouting at Cubans. 10 min with an odd pic of someones hand reaching to get some pasta...
Watched it on ch4+1 to see the bit i missed: it had the same image.

The problems were at the broadcast end, not the transmission part - so you could watch the same dogfood advert on Freeview, Sky or analogue.

Same here except I couldn't be bothered to watch on +1 just for the few minutes I missed.

Two minutes of Ramsay's show was lost
bks, it was more like the last 10mins. It disappeared right about the time the kitchen was about to turn things around and came back when Ramsay was saying goodbye.
