Apparently, Talking Pictures are currently in negotiations to join Freesat before Christmas

Talking Pictures has a FAQs page (http://talkingpicturestv.co.uk/faqs/).
In answer to "Will you be going on Freesat" they say: "Yes, hopefully before or around Christmas 2015, sign up for the TPTV newsletter so you will know exactly when." |

Over in the "Freesat's Christmas Present" thread, a new forum member has posted a link to the FAQ's section on TP's website which states they will be on the platform by Christmas or earlier.

Just been reading the Talking Pictures website, and they are now saying 2016, but you can get it in non Freesat mode if you can't wait.

I've just been trying to watch "Brighton Rock" on Freesat 306.
I don't see how the people behind this channel can claim to care about old movies when the experienced is spoiled by the intrusive digital on-screen graphic. They claim it's an anti-piracy measure, which seems a ridiculous response. By that logic, all cinemas would project a logo on the screen as well. In any case, I thought invisible electronic watermarks were possible these days. Perversely, they're creating an incentive to watch a good quality pirate copy of a film rather than their DOG-ged version. Even if piracy is an issue, a solution that spoils the picture for all demonstrates a a cynical attitude towards films and their audience. |

IMHO it is certainly no more intrusive than those of other movie channels - thank goodness the music channels (eg HeartTV/CapitalTV) or FashionTV aren't broadcasting movies

Well I think it's a little unfair complaining about the DOG in this case, because part of the funding for the channel is by the sale of restored and/or remastered old films and TV series. And finally we get a channel that shows lots of films not seen on UK TV for many years so it's a small price to pay. If you want DOG free then go out and buy these restored films and add them to your collection.

I don't see why the DOG is a price that to be paid, as you put it. It's bad enough having to put up with breaks in the films for advertising, but I accept that as the price that has to be paid for a free channel. The DOG is not an acceptable addition. The piracy arguments don't make any sense. It is certainly disingenuous for a channel that uses DOGs to claim to care about movies. It's good that some people find the DOG unobtrusive, but they shouldn't assume that is the case for everyone. If cinemas put DOGs on screen, there would be uproar. |
