Random Palauan TV screen captures

In December we bought a TV off some friends who were leaving the island. There are about 40 channels mostly filled with crap where none of it is worth watching. I was happy to finally get to watch some sport but instead of my beloved ice hockey about the best I’ve seen is some NFL playoffs and 2 x Rugby 6 Nations games. Apart from that we seem to watch an awful lot of tattoo and food shows. Thankfully we have the Australia Network which has some good stuff on at times like Food Safari (way to make me miss quality & varied food!). 

 Anyway here are some funny images I’ve seen screened on Palauan TV:

One channel is clearly run from a Western Digital TV device (WDTV), as evident by their screen saver that for a period often ran at night in lieu of actual programming.

Here is one of the local Palauan channels, I think they have some issues.

We have been getting some winter Olympic highlights although they spend as much time showing video of the Olympic flame and behind the scenes segments on things like figure skating hairdressers as they do actual highlights. Not sure where Palau is getting their feed from but I thought this was interesting to see.

And another channel broadcasting a screensaver. Nice work there Mitch!

Last night a whole bunch of channels changed to what I’ve termed the Blue Screen of Nothing (BSoN).

 

And finally when the Olympic highlights aren’t running we get a test pattern with a very annoying high pitched constant beep noise.

 

UPDATE: This afternoon the 'special event' channel which up until recently has only had pay per view UFC (and lately rather bad winter Olympic highlights) suddenly played the first Super Rugby game of the season (Chiefs & Crusaders). We were clearly getting the raw Sky TV feed from New Zealand. After the game had finished we had around 15 minutes worth of random slow mo' replays, screensavers and random game commentary which didn't align with the replays nor screenshots.

UPDATE #2: For some reason this afternoon almost all TV stations are now blank. I blame Mitch.
