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.
At no point before now had I considered that #TV would just end, becoming online #boxsets with forced advertising and a compulsory (additional) £30/ month connection #freely
I thought I'd be well into my 60s before becoming lumbered with a "modern life is shitty compared to the 80s or 90s" attitude, but no there's 3-4 years left.
No #FM. Probably no #DAB either TBF. That's worse than the 1970s FFS.
Better get used to the fact that my dotage is going to be really fucking quiet and lonely :/
