It is all due to the event at the main London playout facility
which meant that much current TV, on many channels, is coming
from a Disaster Recovery site.

The box you noticed indicates a C5 programme from the DR site.

I wonder why C5 feel the need to be able to distinguish between programmes
that are coming from the main site and those that are coming from the DR
site. To do it in a customer-visible way, rather than embedded in some
metadata that is seen to the broadcaster but not the viewer, is odd.

I read somewhere that the C4 DOG is not transparent on
transmissions from DR.

I noticed that, during the last Grand Prix, it fell directly over
and obscured the lap counter, but part way through somebody must
have noticed and killed it.

The lack of subtitles is customer-visible. And the lack of audio
description is customer-audible.

The whole business shows how rubbish the "disaster recovery" is,
especially as it appears there wasn't a real fire. Sounds like, if
anything goes wrong, pull the plug.
