When will EE bring TTTV to their TV Platform?

[RKernohan]

My Mother has recently moved her TV , Broadband and Telecom services to EE. The system was installed yesterday and last night she went looking for her favourite Free to Air TV channel, TPTV (Talking Pictures TV). This popular TV channel specializes in broadcasting popular films and TV shows from the 1950’s 60’s, 70’s and a few from the 80’s. The content is extremely popular amongst those in their late 50’s and upwards and provides a great way for some people to reminisce on older times with some great TV shows from yesteryear. 

I contacted TPTV for their advice, they mentioned that they would welcome EE to start broadcasting their TV channel anytime .

How do we encourage EE to start broadcasting Taking Pictures TV?

Sadly not many new tv channels have been added and any plans on future developments are rarely announced until confirmed. 

Down to EE to negotiate I’m afraid.

Consumers have been mentioned this pretty much since EE launched the “Freeview over broadband” option to receive free to air channels. Over the last 18 months or so of this been mentioned little seems to have happened.

Completely agree,Rodney

        I'm sure for many older Viewers (like myself)  the lack of Talking Pictures TV is the biggest drawback of EETV.

            I assume that you are aware that if you connect her Home TV Aerial to the EETV Box that Talking Pictures will appear in the TV Guide (and be Recordable)?

     Otherwise,if she can link her Internet to the TV she could go to the Talking Pictures Website and views lots of Content that way.

       Let's hope this becomes available soon.

A nice half way house for internet only households would be making the TPTV Encore app available.

TPTV Encore doesn't catch-up current programmes but just shows a selection of classic old films & TV shows.
