The end of an era, this and Turnpike are the only news groups I
subscribe to and both are devoid of TV posts these days.

My Berlin subs are due at the end of the month, they are only €10 but
what's the point as Usenet is dead in the water.

I've had some wonderful times posting and meeting ULY contributors over
the years but all good thing come to an end so it's,

Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.

Why would the Turnpike 'group have TV posts?

(I find a fair number of TV posts in uk.tech.broadcast, though naturally
they tend to be of a technical nature. Initially!)

I use eternal-september, though will switch to Berlin if E-S dies.

I'm still here, what would you like to discuss, the crappy technical
quality of HD transmission inn UK, why other European countries have
most their stations in HD on terrestrial, but UK can barely manage a
handful on terrestrial, and keeps flogging the dead horse SD!? Why we
need so many TV shopping channels in the age of the internet?

I'm with Virgin Media and have a V6 box, I also have a Samsung Smart TV
with Freeeview via an aerial.
I've just counted my HD channels and I've got 111 with Virgin, not sure
about the Samsung, I've also got a couple of UHD, 3 if you count BBC
iPlayer.
The problem for me is not the number of HD channels but the number of
programmes on those channels which are worth watching.
