Hello everyone, this is my first-ever posting to TVForum. Been cruising and perusing the pages for some time now so thought it'd be a good idea to contribute.
And I start by adding my two cents to the Freeview argument.
I bought a TUCT-20 last year. I can get all Muxes except B (BBC4, Parliament, 6music etc.) As a journalism student I rely heavily on News24, INC and SkyNews. But I would also like something to watch that's designed for me - 20, male, single. I appreciated the recent move by TMF from just a plain music video channel that "replicates the rhythms of your day" to an MTV/VH1 style channel with actual programmes - celebrity Deathmatch is hilarious after a few pints. But apart from a few little bits and bobs on FTN (all groan at once) and BBC3, there's not a lot else.
Now comes the crux. Shopping channels, yeah fine, lets have 1 or 2. I know that when More4 starts Price-Drop will go. QVC and Bid-Up are seemingly good choices. I rejoiced when the pathetic TVTravelShop disappeared. Now I'm expected to accept that bandwidth has been given to IDEAL WORLD??? No way! I hope and pray that when a new channel - the fabled Freesport perhaps - starts it will replace IW.
Freeview is frustrating, and because i have a TUCT-20 and am a poor student, cannot get TUTV. I would immediately get it if i could, if just for E4 and UKGold. Maybe TVX
I know we can't do anything about it except wait for the analogue turnoff and then so many more channels should become available.
That's My Word. (Hehe - stupid John Gibson - he hasn't got a clue)
