  • What are these RBS Tests for?

  • They check to make sure that all the transmitters across the country are able to switch to re-broadcasting the signal of the nearest transmitter in case their main feed goes down.

  • I take it you were caught out by surprise at the beginning like I was, when you expected it to start at 02:30 but it came on at 02:10 & did not set the recorder before.

  • Yeah, didn't hear the announcement as I had the volume down, expecting the test to be a bit later :/ Ah well. Lucky I didn't rely on my VCR to tape it, as I'd got the BBC1 and BBC2 times the wrong way round, and I'd have missed most of each test.

  • The voice talking spoiled it why didn't they just keep it as the tone? The way it was in the 90s the pic is the same though

  • January 12th 2009! The testcard returns!

  • That girl`s probably in her late 40`s now,I wonder where she is now?

  • Wow, they still do these testcards? I remember they used to scare me when I was little :P

  • in my area the testcard was on then it cut to "Curriculm Bites", then back to testcard for a few seconds then back to Curriculm Bites!
