ITV launches free digital channel

Ooh, lookey – ITV launches a new channel for Freeview viewers. It’s got dramas and films and repeats on it. It’s free to watch. It has adverts.

Erm.

Isn’t that just ITV2? Or is that to become 24/7 “How To Join A Manufactured Pop Band And Piss Off Talented Musicians”? It’s close enough anyway.

*whistles innocently*

Just keeping it warm for you.

But it involves paying for a million channels I’d never watch. I get more than enough telly on BBc1 to CH5. No need for all the Sky wankery.

Do you want me to do it? i did mine. I have a cordless drill….no house, just a drill 😮

Mosh

Erm… have you ever seen any of the DIY projects I’ve started? Obviously not.

Caz

Having fun with my digital box? :p

Caz

I dont mind, I’ve wired sky up to my computer 🙂 Though why this is an achievement considering i only watch uk gold i dont know ;o

Mosh

I have a TV tuner card. I just don’t have an aerial anywhere near my PC so it’s a bit pointless.

Mosh

I need the aerial on the roof sorted as well. Can you do that? Ideally, I want an aerial socket in three rooms in addition to the front one (the only room to have one).

My signal here is crap – it’s one reason I can’t go digital full time. On terrestrial if the signal falters you get some fuzz. On digital, the picture/sound go completely, it pixelates, things freeze…

Sir Findo Gask

Same ***** different channel. Like UK Glod…..

Second rate drama repeats.

SFG

The only purpose I’ve found for BBC3 is to watch Spooks 2 days before it’s on BBC1. This allows me to piss of people who don’t have Freeview. Which technically I don’t… the box in on loan.

ITV’s sole purpose is for showing UEFA Cup football. Everything else on it is ****. I mean, for ****’s sake – *more* X Factor? WHY?!

There was a news article last month that said BBC 3, BBC4 and CBBC which get some silly number of millions to operate with, at one peek viewing time slot had less than 1000 viewers across the whole country.

Now is that tax pounds put to good use?

Actually, I’ve just written a long post on my blog (http://ukscriptwriter.blogspot.com/ shameless plug) about something I’ve just watched on BBC3. Does that make me a hypocrite? Aw who cares 🙂

Caz

well i guess you’d need sky to go digital full time. Thats what we did and the pictures god…no more weird pixels

Caz

Well if i cant i know a man that can 🙂 Well you can pipe off from the on in the living room but for better signal its best to take them direct from the ariel.

Caz

well wire one up then, it’d only take 20 mins and that includes the time it would take to find the drill.
