@jonesh - When you turn your telly on you do know your watching YouView, yeah?

Hi Darren. All towns and citys now have FTTC. The UK is now fibired up to 98,1%. Virgin have nothing to do with it. They are an independent cable TV and internet operator owned by Liberty Global.

You bounder Sir! :D
-
Thanks for clearing that up.
-
@jonesh @DJHB1980 - redchiz wasn't being patronising about OAPs. He was stating a fact. You turn on the telly and you just want to watch telly.
-
@redchiz - I've given you a thanks but its actually even higher than that.
-
Then prove it isn't. Because it is. Well? Ofcom link? ISPpreview? Which? Show everyone it isn't.

mmmmmm

Thats a real ****. Your in a very small minority of users who can't get decent speeds. Do you live in the Scottish highlands?

4K will only be internet only as Digital UK is selling off terrestrial spectrum to telephone companies and earning billions from it. It's no big deal as the UK is now fibred up to the eyeballs and so can now easily cope with TV broadcasts.

Internet subscription only plus the BBC iPlayer. Have you seen Life in Color in 4K? Its stunning.

TV is going to move to the internet where over 95.1% of users can get 10Mbps or more. 6 is required for HD. Yep its true. Internet TV coverage covers more than both Freeview and Freesat and thats a fact. SD at is 98.1% which bombs both the others …

That wasn't a rumour. TalkTalk have been actively looking for a buyer for years. They are in a bit of a mess. Still viable but not in their current state. Hence the look for a buyer.
-
nmmmmm. Maybe. Maybe not.

"The problem with where you seem to be taking this is that you then need to explain how, exactly, having it as a linear channel again is going to put people off it." @Roy - Not put people off per-se, but I believe the majority of viewers will still…

@redchiz - council telly?
-
Hey @Stevef_fr8ys - If you think TalkTalks communications are bad you wanna try BTs. On second thoughts, no, you really don't.

Is going to happen. :) The shift in viewing habits actually occurred years ago and has exponentially picked up pace year-on-year to the extent its now reached this - and continues to rise - https://advanced-television.com/2021/03/02/research-7-…

"NOW TV is already one of the more expensive streaming services (especially when you add everything up), and this change downgrades its value-for-money even further." COMCAST don't seem to realise people subscribe to streaming services because they…

By Statistical Analysis of box key presses and app usage. If you press a key, that info is then pinged back to the YouView servers. It doesn't have your name and address on it, as such, as its just one mass bag of data haulage.
-
Why are they doing that, Steve?
-
This is a Freesat offer only which they've decided to bundle with TalkTalk. TalkTalk themselves (on Freeview) are believed to have chosen Technicolor as their next box partner as Humax have withdrawn from YouView box manufacturing. BT have gon…

And just how exactly did the guy/girl know it would be 6 months? Sounds to me like you've been fed a line of bull****.
-
I got it! I got it! :D

BARB used to give a breakdown on individual platforms, including YouView compared to Freeview and YouView by far outstripped them. But we already knew that. Which makes its withdrawal from the retail market all the stranger. On the surface, its a si…
-
Surprisingly not - the following BARB chart in this post equates PVRs (which they call DVRs) to around 40% of households, the rest use other means - https://www.barb.co.uk/trendspotting/tracker-device-access/
-
Yeah... it seems to be shrinking. Anyone know why Humax pulled out of the Freesat market?
-
My bag is PVRs (YouView) and discs. Call me old fashioned. Do I have Netflix/Amazon/Now TV from time to time? Sure. Heck I've got all 5 at the moment. Which won't last for long.

That comment is really awful.
