Oooh, a new Freesat Recorder box from Manhattan.

Hadn’t heard Freesat had discontinued their in-house designed Recordable box. It was never as well thought of as the previous generation Humax DVR/PVR boxes.

This new box is welcome news. I have always liked Manhattan’s non-recordable Freesat boxes, and still regularly use their SX model in one room.

#Freesat #SatelliteTV

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.

Someone at https://www.ideal35.fr/ asked how to watch British TV because the options on Orange were terrible.

I live close enough to use #FreeSat and run my own VPN, so I don't use anyone else's services to do this.

I just wondered which DNS or VPN providers sell an endpoint in the UK which isn't constantly blocked by the UK TV companies.

Anyone else in the UK having problems with FreeSat tonight?

And by 'problems' I mean no signal?

#FreeSat #NoSignal #FreeSatDown

Bummer.

I'm no #sports nut, I only ever watch a few events per year but I'm running low

@BBCSportScot decided #themasters is too expensive and it went last year #golf

@itv came to the same conclusion about #letour & June will be the last time I get to watch that #cycling

Very glad to have found grand #sumo bashos on @nhk_world_japan_cht to the extent that I'm planning to visit to watch!

Are there other #freetoview sports hidden on #freesat anyone?
