BBC TWO Northern Ireland - Final analogue closedown

The final moments for BBC Two Northern Ireland analogue at 00:23, 10th October 2012. The announcer is David Olver. This was how it appeared on satellite. Those watching on analogue had their signal cut off after the old 1980's vintage BBC 2 swiped away to the left for the final time, also bringing an end to Ceefax on BBC 2.

For those people who don't live in the UK, I will confirm the name of the robot to be named Digi AL.

Clever pun, BBC, Clever pun

[@EternityMediaGroup]

@@abbycollins It's not even the BBC, it's Digital UK, the guys who managed the digital switchover, and, as far as i know, maintain the Digital channels

[@abbycollins]

@@EternityMediaGroup Oh! Thanks for letting me know! I was wondering if my comment was outdated lol.

[@EternityMediaGroup]

@@abbycollins No Problem. Digital UK is owned by the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Arqiva. This way, if BBC One wants something for their Digital TV, it has to be agreed on by the other 4 Terrestrial channels (ITV, BBC Two, Channel 4 and Channel 5).

This is actually really sweet. This happened in Canada as well

[@RyanDoesStuff1]

Wait really? Is there any footage?

[@stephensnell1379]

I'm glad that televisions went from analogue to digital as analogue could easily be disrupted by nearby interference whereas digital cannot

[@thotsi]

with analogue signal loss: you get a fuzzy picture with digital signal loss: you get full a/v disruption and loss of data, breaking up i know what i preferred

[@inglorioushitler8798]

In the case of war digital is vulnerable to cyber attack

[@theJ00k-yt]

I like that they showed the old BBC 2 ident

[@swindle-t3m]

You mean the "computer generated 2"?

[@sodorflubbs5000]

This feels so strange for me as I had satellite tv so I missed all this. It seems so strange watching this now.

[@malcolmwilliams8762]

[@timecapsule.]

I remember the hype about the digital switchover here, and there as a huge advertisement campaign, and toys and worry. I was excited about the switchover.
