A magazine to discuss Digital Terrestrial Television (known as Freeview in the UK)

Technical discussion and channel changes and rumours encouraged!

Discussion of other DTT systems around the world is good too, as well as programmes, although there may be better groups for these topics, such as !britishtelly@feddit.uk

For teletext discussion, see !teletext@fedia.io

This is a complementary service to the @ukdtt@botsin.space Mastodon bot (posts automated channel changes), and associated Discord/Linen server.

Rules

No discussion of illegal activities, eg (but not limited to) hacking of receivers, decoding PIN-protected channels, or where to download/watch TV shows illegally.
