…and you know what we can get beamed into my home now – free of charge and totally mainstream?
Fucking NUTS TV.
Yup. The mindless ladsmag has a TV station for all the mindless lads. And it’s just there, on Freeview, in my house, like it’s ok…not a problem.
Well it’s a fucking problem here boyo.
I want it off my Freeview box and out of my house. I don’t give two shits if they just show (mens) sport till gone 11pm and then show their porn afterwards. They are NOT entitled to do that in my house under the protection of the only free option that anyone has to continue to recieve TV in this country. I’m not fucking having it. Are you?
To complain:
Email: info@freeview.co.uk
Telephone: 08701 111 270
Write to: Freeview, DTV Services Ltd, Broadcast Centre, (BC3 B6),
201 Wood Lane, London, W12 7TP
Fucking tell them, the misogynist bastards.

I just don’t have a TV Witchy. You can still watch BBC programmes on the I player, and if you don’t watch them/record them as they’re broadcast (ie you don’t have a TV chip) you don’t even need a licence.
I wonder how long it will take them to spot THAT loophole.

Poo, I hadn’t spotted Nuts Tv on mine.

Got it, blogged it, emailed…. I wonder if I’m associating with all the wrong people here?

Poo indeedy, I too hadn’t spotted the Nuts channel.
‘K I’ll be complaining.

I hadn’t spotted it, but I had seen one other soft core porn channel in there too last time I looked.
You can de-programme a channel on your box, or set up the favourites so only the non-offensive ones show. But frankly, it should be the other way around — that the porn hounds should fiddle with the buttons in order to watch it — rather than shoving porn at everybody.

You know what pisses me off? That is free and just sitting there in my house but there are other channels I’d like to watch that I have to sodding pay for!

I’ve had Freeview for a while and as soon as I heard that NUTS TV was going to be broadcast I sent a complaint to Freeview. They were really slopey-shouldered and effectively said “its not down to us guv, try Ofcom”. Ofcom were of course their usual waste of space. As a result I felt obliged to go out and buy a new Freeview box that had the facility to lock particular channels, to ensure the kids couldnt watch it, and this made me feel really angry. Why should I have to spend extra money to keep something like this out of my home?
I’m alarmed that Stormy has spotted another soft porn channel – anyone know what its called so I can lock that too? I know Television X is on Freeview, but that’s subscription only.

That we need to be saying this is seriously out of order. That what we’re saying is being willfully unheard is diabolical.
Welcome btw h2281n – nice site you have there.

Willfully unheard = Screaming into the wind.

It may be the same one, I cannot remember, but it was definitely subscription-only, with a freebie preview for three minutes at 23:00 from memory.
Certainly NUTStv being freebie is an insult.

There are certainly some channels that go all porny late at night even if they’re not for most of the time.

Yup! Drives me crazy. I moved house recently and lost NUTS channel (simple solution nay?!) but picked up Virgin1 which shows porn at night.
It’s really frightening to think that the abuse of women is for sale and scarier still that it is now so cheap – Pay 30 quid for a freeview box and they will abuse women nightly for your viewing pleasure. How much can these women possibly be earning?
