Test Card

Options
Anyone out there remember the Test Card?

Well although it's rarely seen these days you will have a last chance to see a variety of BBC Test Cards on 26th March..

The BBC HD Channel closes at 1.30am and reopens at 6.30am as BBC2 HD. Between these hours a 30 min loop of TestCards will be run continually.

This could be the last time EVER that a TestCard will appear on the BBC.

It appears (from the BBC) that there are NO plans to transmit a Test Card again for the foreseeable future.

    Test card is very useful for setting up your screen and audio, annoyed that my Sky box won't record it. Good news is that it's on YouTube (yes in 1080p) but bad news is that it doesn't have the proper 5.1 sound. Will try to record this last one on the Sky box and the Freesat box to keep.
