BBC Two Northern Ireland - Giro d'Italia Fault - 9th May 2014

Despite their efforts and high amounts of anticipation, a minor technical hitch occurred around 55 minutes into the coverage.
The famous technical difficulties slide appeared before slightly-unnervingly transitioning to the BBC2 Northern Ireland temporary fault slide. This was followed by an announcement and some good old piano music.

That one rogue block running across the testcard like "Oh no oh no I broke something! D:" (I am joking for the record)

[@theplaylistmaker1846]

Block - Jimmy! Jimmy! Help! I did something! Please I dont wanna be fired!

[@DrayCrouse]

They Literally displayed THREE VIDEO OUTPUTS AT THE SAME TIME USING ADDING AND SUBTRACTING THE TRANSPARENCY!!!!!!!!!!

[@moelester7527]

And one of them looked like it was showing a movie.

[@emilyofjane]

It cut back at the best possible moment omg

[@joeorsini6110]

History Channel Europe has a completely different breakdown slide, except it has 'Temporary Fault' in all caps with the network's ident at the bottom.

[@QueenAllTheWay]

Wait they broadcast in h.264 rather than h.265?

[@FireUpTheTelevision]

Yeah.

[@NeonCoding]

This was 2014 and they only have to do 720p he says nervously hoping to not be corrected.

[@500youtubesubscribers5]

H.264 Unit 1

[@firedragon-cute-13-nice13]

Yeah H.264 is a video encoding thing and Unit 1 could mean something like Computer 1 or something else. Thought i would clear this up for anyone who was wondering.

[@PspowerNeGATiV]

Problems to connect with Italy. Probaby RAI wants to transmit this on three channels and probably he COPIED BBC's logo... almost!
