Ah.. a rare piece of ‘informative’ and ‘facts-based reporting from the #ABC. This article sheds quite a few flood-lights on the #migration political debate and calls out recent #LNP talking points for what they are… so much #racist BS. It is a well written piece by Gareth Hutchens based on historical facts and a recent #research paper from ANU (with a link to it).

Well worth the read, especially if you need facts to inform family members caught in the #propaganda fed to us by #msm and #freeview TV channels (also no small a number of social media ‘trolls’).

“The paper says Coalition governments have contributed "significantly more than Labor governments" to increasing temporary immigration levels in Australia over the past quarter of a century.” Though, it must be said, largely with bi-partisan support.

I only wanted to find out what changes were coming to #freesat with channel changes next week

I've come away knowing that #Astra will be defunct by 2030.
#freeview probably won't make it past 2035.
#TV will only come houses through the internet into a dedicated box without an aerial socket.
There'll be no such thing as scheduling. recording to watch later will be history. Adverts will be pay to avoid ONLY.
& If you're a #rural user with crap internet, it's pretty much tough shit.

#Petition #UK #FreeView

Terrestrial television, received through an aerial, known as Freeview, is under serious threat of being scrapped

Within months the Government will decide whether to turn off terrestrial signals & rely solely on internet based TV (IPTV)

This means every household would be forced to take out a fixed broadband contract to continue watching their favourite TV programmes

Radio reception & signals for emergency services could also be put at risk

I just signed the petition “Save Freeview TV for Lynette and millions of others who depend on it!” and wanted to see if you could help by adding your name.

Our goal is to reach 50,000 signatures and we need more support. You can read more and sign the petition here:

My TV has gone bonkers.
At least I think it's the TV rather than the aerial.
I'm not receiving some of the channels from the East Midlands Waltham transmitter.
I am getting good reception on channels 29, 34 & 35 but nothing from 31, 32 or 37
The various checking sites say there's no reported problems (and I'm not sure which of my neighbours still use terrestrial TV )

It's a good job I've got Freesat and a Roku thingy, and, that we rarely watch the idiot box on Sundays.

My Wales-centric old-school "anachronistic analogue" Freeview TV guide is back online!

Bear in mind that my Raspberry Pi server isn't mission-critical internet-backbone hardware, but a free-time hobby project...so it's taken me a few days to restore it...and there may be dropouts...
