UK Freeview users are going to loose more channels in June
Might be common knowledge already but just a heads up for any Freeview
users in the UK I came across this article about the COM7 multiplex
being removed in June to make way for more 5G mobile services.

The only really sad lose for me would be BBC4 HD lets hope they find
room on some other multiplex.

It is sad, and annoying since I've only recently replaced my two USB
tuners (that the micro coax connectors would occasionally fall out of)
with a quad PCI tuner, but it really feels like Freeview is dying due to
lack of good programming, or the subscription services are hoovering up
all the creative talent.
I'm recording less and less, and watching more Netflix/Disney/Rakuten.
Actual I'm recording more radio from Freeview than before, but that's
the BBC's daft decision to delay podcast publication to try to force
users to their Sounds app.

Feels like the end of an era coming.

Cheers,
Tim.
