Wonderful
So almost no one can actually recieve it and none of them would want to watch it anyway. What a wonderful use of £3.5m.
Next time give it to me and I'll set it on fire.
Freeview HD got a new channel this morning, which will be filled with events from the Cultural Olympiad as well as the occasional Hitchcock film and the usual arts nonsense. The Space sits on channel 117, which puts it into the IP-streamed channels only available to kit conforming to the letter and spirit of the Freeview HD …
"an animation showing someone switching a light on (and then off again) for a minute and a half"
Will there also be those 1970's East European monochrome art-house cartoons of people being followed by buildings? I still get nightmares about those.
The icon? Well I intend to be Titus Anewt until the Five-ring circus leaves town.
That of course should be 'right click menu'. Can't tell left from right.
It's getting pretty weird now, either they're still updating the site or different vids have different setup. I'm actually seeing controls in windowed mode - but cant click them because the screen layouts borked. In fullscreen the 'show controls' just started working and I have a draggable timeline. Still no option to leave fullscreen though (hitting back a couple of times works).
I think I'll just save the videos and play them in something more competent. Pity the resolution is so low.
Listen to you all, whining on about that the content isn't interesting to you, has no one actually had a think as to why this has been done like this?
Riddle me this, given you've a new unproven technology which not many people can receive, what would you put on it to test? Britain's Got Voice? So you can get howls of disappointment from the likes who are commenting here that no one can access it, or something a little more obscure?
Hold on! China Whotsit, Sports Tonight are already doing this, so t'article says. So what's your case that we need a third test channel of boring unpopular tripe? I'd have thought two channels of tripe were two more than necessary - back in the day we used to just have the test card, and that worked a treat, without costing £3.5m of our taxes.

You can beam Britain's Got No Talent (and all the rest of the 'reality' shite) straight into space for all I care. Gathering it all together on a no-bit-rate streaming channel would be a good idea.
I admit it, I would be curious about the Shakespeare productions, which I suppose are that series of foreign language productions being put on at the Globe. The guy wrote some good stuff, and too much has been messed with by school teachers.
It sounds like he may be responsible for the only good stuff that ever gets shown on that channel.
I have last years Sony Bravia TV (2011 NX723). I can access and watch Vision (110), CCTV (111), Sports Tonight (112), and even Racing, if i wanted it.
But when trying this channel The Space (117) it tells me that I dont have a compatible FreeviewHD device.
Umm, someones cocked up somewhere...
Yeah, wont be getting Netflix, is what i think your referring to. However, the TV that I bought was only released in Sept last year and I bought it in Oct last year. So far I have not been impressed at the lack of internet updates as well as sony believing that this tv is already out of date.
I also have sonys 500GB PVR box, all IPTV channels work...with a catch, only audio works and no video. making viewing 110-117 impossible.
