Also We have post any news on more channel testing on both Cable Forum and Media Boy Blog.

I think the Cable Forum needs to crowd-fund you a TV with DTC built in so you can check directly what channels are testing.

The colour TV licence still costs more than a black and white licence and I can't remember the last householder I knew with a black and white TV!
|
I don't get your point, lol
Are you saying the colour TV licence shouldn't cost more, or there shouldn't even be a licence for black & white tvs?
Sorry, maybe I'm being an idiot

Hi, what I mean is that extra is still charged for what have been standard services for a long time. So extra is charged for colour TV licences v black and white licences although colour has been the standard for 40 years. So don't expect a premium for HD to go anytime soon judging by this! Sprry for any obscurity.

I agree mate, that's why I ditched my Virgin Tv package, switched to Now Tv streaming for my premium content, best moved I made and saved a small fortune as well.

Worth noting that the monochrome licence is actually the TV licence with a colour supplement added from 1/1/68 for those with colour sets.

TruTV on the testing list is on Freeview so we should really get that.
