RE: Xpanded tv - General Chat & Discussion
(06-04-2020 19:01 )seducedx6 Wrote: I would be surprised, if no one has ever said this, but Xpanded consistently fails to turn its clock forward, correctly, in programme guide listings, on tv.
Maybe it's only on "Freeview", and 'YouView'? I wouldn't know.
I did say this, several years ago, on its since-discontinued forum.
From which I was banned, after a few years. Although, as I said on another thread, it wasn't for that!
For instance: the time slot for 01:00-04:00, says transmissions start at 3am! Or words to that effect. I'm not looking at my tv, right now.
That slot has been moved forward, from 00:00-03:00. Rather than merely adjusted, for the clock going forward!
I don't know why, they fail to do something, every other channel does easily.
Similar channels, have various aspects, which are rather amateurish, relative to most other tv channels, but still manage to do that.
As I said, back on its forum, and subsequently on Twitter, it means a tv timer can't be set, for when transmissions start. Given that its night-time transmissions, are for only two hours, on "Freeview", that's a problem for all concerned.
I thought it worth quoting this, about a hardy perennial problem with Xpanded on 'Freeview'...
Albeit Xpanded has been transmitting from midnight, (till 07:00) rather than from 03:00, for a long time.
Maybe the rescanning required will result in the timings being corrected...
I've not been watching any of the channels tonight, as I have been, decreasingly.
Although I have said a few times, that the simplicity of its set, and more than one woman being on it, much of the time, prompting less immobility, makes Xpanded the least worst channel. It's been a long time since I found a significant proportion of the women appearing there, especially exciting. Some of the daytime regulars' making the move, would be an improvement.
It has to be said, after getting a Roku streamer in late 2020, I'd been watching the channels mostly in picture-in-picture, more than ever.
However, the golden days of Roku are over for me: https://www.theverge.com/2021/11/3/22762...march-2022 which isn't to say, there's nothing else that I've watched there.
I've been on my much smaller (10") tablet tonight, without looking at the channels' websites, or anything harder.
I didn't watch the Mary Millington documentary film (again) on Together TV ('Freeview' 83), after 22:00, but I did notice on the tv's programme guide, that it was probably the only other channel that hadn't adjusted its timings correctly for BST!

"From one who is not permitted to find fault, [says the peasant representative] praise also is valueless; in absence of expression it is like a Chinese picture in which shade is lacking. [CW, Vol. 1, P. 1801 Marx cites this spokesman from the lower classes because his emphasis on opposites is pure dialectics: extremes can paint a picture, whereas compromise can only paint in grey." https://www.militantesthetix.co.uk/critl...ewrite.htm

I should add (24/12/2023) that I am still more extensively shadowbanned than I've ever been, despite paying for a blue tick for several months, see my pinned thread, profile and header pics

I'm using a friend's account, midriffique, a tweet from which is already linked above, with whom I did do three-way tag team tweeting, whilst he's taking a longterm break from social media.
