  • Ch89-Data Only on Freeview = Oxymoron

    From AnthonyL@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 18 11:56:12 2022
    Why do I get tuned to Data only channels on Freeview. Surely the idea
    of Freeview is that it is over the air?

    Why ever wait to finish a job before starting the next?

    Right now 89 is showing data displaying "ITV4+1 returns at 5am".

    Yes its always been there though. So even those sets and boxes you could not connect to the internet still showed the place markers, very untidy.
    Did anyone notice about a month ago that one of the adult channels was
    loading something up from the internet, which sounded like some crappy
    American porn film.
    It seems to have gone again, I assume knuckles got wrapped or perhaps
    somebody pressed the wrong button.
    I'm just hopeful none of these highly efficient folk are in charge of
    pressing the nuclear button.

    It does here now but it was showing "Data only" with a link to some
    on-line TV for a while before I posted.
