Davefevs Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 How does moving it to Quest mean more viewers over C5....are they gonna change the time slot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy1968 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Money, money, money. At least Channel 5 had an HD option. (I don't think Quest ever get near SD, very low bandwidth.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Just proves how online highlights are increasingly dominant. The viewing figures are low because we all know we can watch the highlights online within minutes of the game finishing. A little-known freeview channel wouldn’t have much of a budget so it shows how television highlights are losing their value in the marketplace. MOTD is different of course because it has the rights to show highlights first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Well, rather than watch the championship in SD, I will go back to watching MOTD in HD. I don't really want to watch two football shows if I am at home on a Saturday night. I need to be desperate to watch anything in standard definition these days.

Gazred Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Quest? It must be on right after Alan Partridge's "Skirmish - the miltary based quiz show". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I think the almost instant availability of online highlights now has completely killed people’s interest in a full Championship highlights show. Shame really. I’d love to see a MOTD style show with extended highlights from every game and some decent analysis. But not on Quest TV when it looks like it’s been filmed on a potato.

pillred Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 frankly I would be amazed if they did not start their own hd channel otherwise they know nobody would bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Quest is not on Freesat which is my medium of choice in with main TV. I guess I will have to use TVPlayer via Kodi if I have the need. Anyway, think positively we might be on MOTD next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite any horror stories you may find about it, most of it is totally legal. There are some apps that allow you to circumvent pay walls Etc though, those are in a greyer area.

Lanterne Rouge Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Was it Live TV that had News Bunny? No idea if this true or not but the bloke in the suit changed his name by deed poll to News Bunny so he could stand in a general election intending to change it back afterwards. The problem was that he got done for obstruction or something during the campaign and if you get found guilty of anything you`re apparently not allowed to change your name so he`s stuck with it. Probably an urban myth but made I larf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xiled Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Bit gutted if this means Colin Murray won't be involved in the future. Really impressed with his genuine interest in the Championship and not the generic fluff that the Sky pundits roll out week after week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live TV died around about the same time as "A lot of people had chipped boxes". Maybe this helped to kill the channel off, as people decided they could get more for their *ahem* viewing pleasure elsewhere.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
