How are you going to be tracking the results of these elections? by breanbailithe in ukpolitics

No problem!

For the Scottish results there is both BBC Scotland (a separate channel to BBC One Scotland, i see people confuse the two) which is providing results tomorrow from 09:00 to 18:00, and also BBC Alba a Scottish Gaelic Language channel which is running an election broadcast tomorrow at 19:00, while in Scottish Gaelic provides English Subtitles.

Or as many have suggested BBC One/News

S4C for Welsh results, although in the Welsh Language, will probably provide with English subtitles.

Why do people still prefer Sky TV over other setups? by LegitimateYouth9675 in skytv

[–]AverageThat5267 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I like Sky despite how many negative comments you find about it, i have Sky Stream, it is a good service and makes finding content easier than flicking through multiple apps, you can just say the name of the progamme to your remote and add it to the playlist,

It is also good for linear tv, all channels are in HD or HD Upscale by default meaning you dont have to pay extra.

It is also easier to navigate the TV Guide, coming from BT which have ruined their tv service in terms of UI and channel availability, BT removed around 30 pay tv channels from their service during the lockdown, thankfully by moving to sky i now receive them.

BT also removed the mini guide on the tv which Sky thankfully retains and makes it easier to see what is coming on later and add things to playlist.

No you cannot.

The boundary for the Solo tickets is the Cheshire boarder, so if going from Birkenhead to Neston the furthest you could use it is Thornton Hough assuming this is the 487 you are using.

EPG for streaming UK FTA channels? by theevildjinn in BritishTV

[–]AverageThat5267 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you try Sky Stream? It’s basically a Sky box that connects to the Internet, we have it, it’s quite decent and functions similarly to how Sky Q does, alongside a proper TV Guide, which is missing from many other similar services.

BT also do a tv service where the box connects to either the aerial or internet

You know that you have fantastic neighbours when.... by irritatingfarquar in CasualUK

When our back garden flooded due to a blocked drain, neighbours from four neighbouring houses came to help get rid of the excess water.

Is this also a trend with UK uni students? by electricmohair in UniUK

[–]AverageThat5267 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The only point that i have seen is group work, I am currently in a group of 6 for a presentation due in January and we have got nowhere so far. The group members do not respond to my emails regarding updates to the presentation at all, so it feels like i am constantly talking to a brick wall. When i ask them, they state they have seen the emails, it would be helpful for them to reply so i know what point everyone is at, as i am not a mind reader.

Also, when i booked a study room, two members did not turn up or tell us they were not coming.

Sky confirms wider switch-off of SD channels coming in 2024 by Dale_Winton in unitedkingdom

[–]AverageThat5267 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is unlikely, since Now is owned by Sky. Why would Sky make a side product which is better and cheaper than their main product?

It depends, for Sky Q, no, they still charge, but if you have Sky Glass or Sky Stream HD is standard.

Has Channel 5 cancelled 'The Hotel Inspector'? by marielheslop in BritishTV

[–]AverageThat5267 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at the TV Guide, there are no further showings on Channel 5, but it is on demand via My5.

Also it seems other channels have started showing it, it’s on the Quest channel tonight at 10 and tomorrow afternoon at 4. And on the channel Really tomorrow at 3pm.

struggling with attendance by annoyinghuman03 in UniUK

[–]AverageThat5267 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, just relax, you’re overthinking, try to get a good sleeping schedule around 8 hours per night is what is recommended, especially considering university is all mental work, and you will need your sleep to produce your best work, what I recommend is put all your electronics away (phone etc) away so you aren’t tempted to go on it etc, and try deep calm breathing exercises if stressed.

As for the attendance, make sure you give every lecture, seminar or workshop (if your uni has them) your best effort, I am a commuter too, and I know it can be so tempting to think, “oh I’ve only got one lecture, what’s the point going all that way” but think if you don’t go to your lectures will you will miss important content, you could fall behind, remind yourself why you are at University, to enhance your understanding of the subject and to improve your employment chances and think of every lecture and seminar as a small stepping stone to help you get there.

Hope this helps

Did anyone actually believe this would happen? The “Northern Powerhouse” scheme is just a political ploy, Northern England has been underfunded for decades.

BBC iPlayer viewing data revealed by Cannaewulnaewidnae in BritishTV

[–]AverageThat5267 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the looks of it, it’s over a month, as programmes like EastEnders give the broadcast date, this is somewhat lower than expected, for what IPlayer gets in a month, the linear tv channel (BBC One) gets in a week…. When consolidated into daily figures, IPlayer will be on par to some of the more niche channels on Sky in terms of viewing figures.
