Sorry for sending this in German:

Sehr geehrte/r VOX- Zuschauerin/Zuschauer,

Sie haben uns über kurzzeitige Test- und Schwarzbilder beim Empfang unseres
digitalen ASTRA-Signals berichtet. Danke für diese Information.
Eine umfangreiche  Überprüfung der gesamtem Übertragungswege hat eine
gestörte Baugruppe in der Satelliten-Sendestation in Luxemburg ergeben. Der
Betreiber dieser Anlage hat uns zugesichert, dass der Fehler nun behoben
ist.

Sollten Sie allerdings weiterhin die von Ihnen beschriebenen Effekte
beobachten, bitten wir um eine kurze Information.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
die VOX-Zuschauerredaktion
