As is the nature of AI, running the updates on individual modules last night trained it to work globally. As a result we can't really diagnose what went wrong. Our DB coders will work on a pre-update backup to check if the error can be replicated and diagnosed.

There are overnight changes but updates will have to be done during the day as the database crashes when processing the data. Processing has worked for individual modules rather than globally. This probably means there is a fault with the AI processing stage which can't be resolved overnight.

The changes are four pre-launch configurations. One seems to be an EPG portal / slate. The other three appear to be duplicates of various FAST channels. Full details will follow during the day.

Overnight Changes:
Duplicate (erroneous) subscription code records have been removed by Virgin TV from 2 FAST channels.
The SI Errors page of the blog has been updated to show the corrections.
