I think, in some peoples' world, "biased" means not totally supporting what they support, and daring to question actions by those whom they support...

fyi, that's not bias.

There is no "public anger", just sound and fury by some people amplified by those who would benefit from the BBC being abolished - Boris Johnson disagrees with Dominic Cummings over plans to scrap the BBC licence fee and wants reform rather than revolution'.

Of course there is bias. Just look at how they dealt with coverage on Brexit, how Fiona Bruce on Question Time looks down her nose at Conservative supporters. Of course they are biased.

As for Labour, they won't tolerate any criticism at all of their darling Leader, so saying that criticism from both sides is proof there is no bias is hyperbole.

Haha old boy that was a funny link. I think the bbc Laura kussenberg announcing postal votes info before Election Day was pretty out of line and possibly criminal. A woman hilariously blamed the Eu for not dredging British rivers yet it’s been the British waterways responsibility for several decades. This was asked on question time by a well known tommy supporter and wasn’t challenged by Fiona Bruce but accepted....

I hate politics chats on a forum not about politics and I respect you a lot old boy so as the moderator says let’s move on. Nothing is ever black and white!

Apparently wwe pay per views are moving off their own network and onto ESPN+. I think we’ll be drowning in different streaming services in the next few years. But again like with Netflix etc we’ll probably be getting a much lesser content than our American friends !

Ok guys need some help here, I have Amazon Prime, I went to the app via the virgin remote, I cannot seem to get prime to work, I get a message saying sign in to prime on your virgin set-top box, on the left-hand side of the screen there's a pic of a TV with a code, it says enter this code to access prime, but no matter what i try there seems no way to enter the code, any ideas?

Update.........I didn't realise that I had to register my TV on the Amazon website, via my pc, a bit of a carry on tbh...

Isn't there usually a web address with this sort of thing? If you visit it on another device while logged into Amazon it will give you a place to enter it. Once entered your account will sync with the V6 app.

This is just a guess, I've no experience with this particular app.

If you have amazon prime on a phone or tablet it will send the code there, then copy it onto the TV app

Definitely not. Looks like this is going to be a big loss maker for BBC and ITV.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-47389420

"ITV has said it will spend £25m on BritBox this year and £40m in 2020. The BBC has not given any comparable figures"

They're not going to break even based on the subscription numbers reported in the Mail. ITV won't ride this donkey for long. I give Britbox 24 months maximum
