In the event [[Ed Jellard]] persuaded the station to cover it, mainly because of his increased involvement in Ents, but a compromise was reached involving coverage not beginning until the semi-finals. Coverage consisted of filming performances and interviews (with [[Pete Nichols]]) at the semi-finals, editing short videos to be played at the Final before each band played their set. This was the first outside broadcast undertaken by a combination of the [[Gang of Four]] and the team of new members recruited the Autumn before. It marked the first major YSTV event for a number of long-standing members including [[Richard Ash]] and [[Rowan de Pomerai]]. | In the event [[Ed Jellard]] persuaded the station to cover it, mainly because of his increased involvement in Ents, but a compromise was reached involving coverage not beginning until the semi-finals.

[[DeathStar]] was hung on Ent's back lighting truss, together with two projectors for the screens either side of the stage. These three were cabled back to an upstairs room in Vanbrugh college where the [[Panasonic Max]] mixed them with video playback from [[Dave Baker]]'s laptop. | ||
Video output went to the projectors, [[Big Telly]] in the Vanbrugh JCR and an SVHS deck for recording. Valiant attempts were made by [[Richard Ash]] and [[Matt Fullerton]] to get the signal back to Goodricke for broadcast, but failed due to lack of knowledge, preparation and experience. This would however push both onto a crusade to get return feeds working for the rest of their YSTV careers. Chris Osbourne, the YUSU Services Officer for 2003/4, complimented the station for their coverage on the night, as did one of the campus newspapers in a write-up of the event. The individual sets were immediately committed to the [[Video Server]] to bolster the amount of repeat material available to schedule, and from October that year were available to watch on the new Watch Online service at [http://ystv.york.ac.uk/watch/vids.php?cat=9 YSTV's website] | Video output went to the projectors, [[Big Telly]] in the Vanbrugh JCR and an SVHS deck for recording.
