    Sounds like a tough month for the engineers!

    * The fault happened on 25 September when a fire suppressant system destroyed hard disks at a broadcast centre.

    An emergency back-up subtitling system also failed. The channel is building a new system from scratch, and said it will fix the problem more quickly than its current prediction of mid-November if it can.*
