Of course, a different government could completely change direction on that. It's not like the current government actually had a meaningful plan. That aside. What the hell does the terrestrial transmitter network have to do with cable boxes? It's a chalk and cheese argument.

Do keep up, Hugh. This has been debated extensively elsewhere on this forum. The BBC is planning for the switchover early in the 2030s. There is no current agreement for the transmitters to continue broadcasting TV beyond 2034.
As also discussed, we are being pressured to make more bandwidth available for mobile signals and this may prove impossible to resist.
There is a campaign going for terrestrial broadcasting to continue well beyond 2040, but unless the government finds a way to stand up to pressure from other countries to give up their bandwidth, I can't really see this happening.

[EXTRACT]
The Director-General of the BBC, Tim Davie, has given broadband ISPs and mobile operators something extra to think about after he proposed that the corporation could plan to “switch-off” terrestrial TV and radio signals by the end of 2030. In their place, the broadcaster would focus on online content and streaming (e.g. iPlayer).

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
What other countries have committed to this?

You can Google this information, jfman, if you want more detail, but this will get you started. Haven't we been here before?

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
A lot of white noise (pun intended) no commitments.

Do you realise that it has always been that way? Multiplex licences have always been for a fixed period. What actually happens after that is decided in the later years of the contract.

Other countries are still investing in their terrestrial networks. As can be seen by developments in Europe where the platform is being upgraded to carry UHD channels.

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
Just updated today. Quite like it as far as I can see so far. Like the watchlist feature and the easier app access. Only thing I’m not liking so far is the tv guide style.

I use the undelete feature all of the time but I watch a lot of live motorsport which is not available on demand so I'd really struggle without it.

Why are you deleting so many things you want in the first place ?

The cursor doesn't automatically go back to select programs and if you forget you delete the program you intend to watch instead of opening it. Saved me a couple of times in the days before it was easier to find stuff on catch up

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
On Sky - if you delete an episode you have just watched it then usually defaults to delete the next episode too that you haven't watch.

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
I tend to watch the things I've recorded, then delete only to find out the wife wanted to watch whatever also. So it's handy to be able to undelete. (And vice versa).
I do find it handy. And I'd rather have the option than not.
