According to an article on digitv.de
(http://digitv.de/meldungen/986829514,80357,.shtml), Premiere had problems
with their broadcast equipment so they "switched to a backup system". The
article only mentions missing Dolby AC-3 sound on the backup system but they
probably also changed the video format.
