Appeal Court: TV menu decision was irrational, but not unfair

JML?

Surely if they wanted some sort of specific EPG placement or consideration, this should have been written into the contract? Failing to do so KNOWING the importance of placements is a FAIL, and to get legal because of a less than perfect placement when it was more or less left to chance is a FAIL, and because it is a teleshopping channel, FAIL. That's it, three FAILs = Epic FAIL. :-)

JML shouldn't worry

If I see JML (or QVC or any of the other ones) in an EPG, the first thing I do is go to the menu to remove/hide the entry. So, if their entry appears later, they actually have a better chance of hanging around for a bit :-)

I delete the shopping channels

None on any of my Freeview PVRs or Freesat HD PVR

Spelling mistakes in categories

How can the courts take EPG listings seriously, when Freeview (and Freesat) cannot even spell their categories correctly?

One of the categories has been

Social/Policial/Economic

for over 5 years.

How did I miss this?

JML have a shopping channel?!?

That's your killer-app right there, I'm going to rush out and buy some Freesat gear this very weekend.

In fact, I might not wait that long, I think my local Comet is open until 8 tonight.

Anyone want to share my taxi to Real Street? I understand that the Real Orchestra is performing the Get Real Symphony at the Reality Theatre tonight.

Sheesh.

Common sense prevails!

Glad FreeSat won, they made a common sense decision based on common sense data. Well done that judge :)

Lucky to be there at all!

Bandwidth is a limited resource, and OFGEM should allocate access on the basis of distinctive programming, rather than the ability to buy a slot. How many outlets for bling jewelery do we really need? Or channels showing onstantly repeating loops of Only Fools and Horses and Have I Got News For You? Or +1 channels in case you missed the repeat of the repeat?

Now what channel is ElRegTV on?
