FUNNY. What does M-Net HD say on its default on-screen break in transmission bumper? ''Our rocket scientists are working on it. Relax.''


As all TV channels have from time to time, how does M-Net HD's (DStv 170) static break in transmission bumper look when the channel has a momentary break in transmission due to technical problems?

It's this funny break bumper that reminds every TV viewer - especially ones like me who always want to take and treat television oh soo seriously - to not. ''The Magic in HD will return shortly. Our rocket scientists are working on it. Relax. Take a breath'' says the funny break bumper that cut in for about 20 seconds when M-Net had a problem between the switchover from Idols to Carte Blanche this evening.

And for what TV viewer would forgiveness not come easier when a broadcaster has a funny default break bumper like this?
