Re: Loss of BBC HD channels on satellite
I was already aware of the satellite change, I think from the a516digital.com web site. It's a great source of broadcasting news with a technical bent. However, I thought the original post was short enough, apologetic enough about being OP, and of sufficient potential relevance to readers of this mailing list to be worth posting. -- Owen Smith Cambridge, UK > On 18 Oct 2018, at 21:40, Alan Milewczyk wrote: > >> On 18/10/2018 21:26, Jonathan H wrote: >>> On Thu, 18 Oct 2018 at 21:16, Peter S Kirk wrote: On 18 Oct 2018 at 15:46, wrote: Second poster has a stick up his butt. >>> +1 >> +2 >> >> ___ > +3 > > Why are some posters so bleedin' anal?

I do not want a moderated list. One where users are considerate and stick to the list's purpose is fine by me. Why should I have to move because one user perverts the list's function for his own ends? And, in addition, announces that this is his intention.. -- Brian. ___ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
