"Gems TV are proud to announce that now jewellery fans who have
Freeview can also take advantage of our great variety of designs and
gemstones and snatch a piece of genuine gem set jewellery at a low low
price.

All you need to do is simply re-scan your freeview box and you will be
able to see dozens of different gemstones set beautifully in
affordable jewellery on channel 43.

We will be available from 9.45am until 12.45pm 7 days a week!"

It hardly seems worth the effort! Anyone know which channel(s)
they're time-sharing with?

I noticed this crap got installed automatically the other day, and it
irritated me that I had to go and delete yet another crap channel.
There seems to be more channels in my banned list then in the sort-of
watchable list.

Freeview = crap!


I rescanned my UPC cable box last night and found I also had a new
channel - a gay porn one apparently!
Cheers
Jeff

I suppose that's one way to describe the Welsh National Assembly.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S4C2:

"S4C2 (Sianel Pedwar Cymru Dau, which is Welsh for Channel Four Wales
Two) is a free British television station owned by S4C that broadcasts
coverage of the National Assembly for Wales."

They've got the Welsh National Opera, so it sounds like the WNA could be the
junior version, complete with hymn-lite songs (Kum Ba Ya!) and some restive
kids sitting at the back prodding each other.
