<p>An interesting article for anyone in the UK about the future of
Freeview :-<br>
<a href="https://rxtvinfo.com/2024/timeline-of-changes-to-freeview-and-satellite-tv/" target="_blank">https://rxtvinfo.com/2024/timeline-of-c ...
ellite-tv/</a><br>
<br>
Also some early information about Freely the service starting
later this year that is supposed to replace Freeview and Freesat
:-<br>

The confusing thing for me is this is obviously about the future
of linear TV but it's been hard not to notice all the TV stations
are pushing their own on demand services like crazy at the moment
"Watch live tonight at 9 or any time for free on our on demand
service". So what do they really want us to use Freely or their OD
services? It would be nice if Freely could support both linear and
OD TV in an all in one convenient app so we don't have to install
and subscribe to many different services for OD but I suspect
that's unlikely to happen <img src="https://forum.mythtv.org/images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" width="15" height="17"></p>
