from the horse's mouth ...Doesn't say when it will be (was) closed.
Well, you could if you had done your research. "Did not" isn't the same as "could not"!I could not have known it was called "Engineering Channel".
I tried both duckduckgo and google and neither found anything relevant. Both gave me news about the impending switchoff of Freeview instead, or news of minor channels closing (which happens all the time). My main problem with google these days is I can't work out how to turn the blasted AI off, duckduckgo makes that easy.Someone needs to get a better AI or at least hone their ability to use a search engine. A search of "when did The UK Engineering Channel Close" along with Phil's link also gave this in the first few links which gives a rough idea of when......................................
I don't think anyone should be boasting or criticising about use of search engines to find it was called the Engineering Channel. No-one came up with that term until I dragged it out of my long term memory, using the power of brain cells alone.Well, you could if you had done your research.

If I had searched for Engineering Channel I might have got that result as well. But I hadn't remembered the correct name for it at the time and was searching for "DTG OTA update channel" and things like that, as should have been clear from my previous postings on this thread and the order I posted them in.That is odd because I used ........................................................

" No-one came up with that term until I dragged it out of my long term memory, using the power of brain cells alone."I give up I really do. Some people are just deliberately awkward.
Indeed you did, I'm not talking about you. Indeed you've been quite restrained on this thread.I gave an example of where a search for "OTA" provided a cross-reference to Engineering Channel.
Indeed, this is an argument over nothing and it amazes me that people can put so much effort into arguing about it.Gosh some people on forums have way too much time.
This is so trivial.
I have reported this post as abusive. Whatever the merits of the argument on all sides, there is no call for some of the things said above. They are direct personal attacks on me." No-one came up with that term until I dragged it out of my long term memory, using the power of brain cells alone."
Maybe if you dragged out and used the power of the lone brain cell that enlightened all of us lesser beings of the title Engineering Channel you would realise that it was YOU that was being awkward or are you just another of those numpties who cannot ever admit to being wrong and then behaves like a toddler if someone shows them that they are? You seem to be trying to pick fights with anyone who does not share your opinion recently. Maybe you should spend some time on the naughty step and consider your actions little man.
Quite so. The guy's an annoying troll it seems.No, it's an argument about somebody muscling in at the bar and trying to throw their weight around. It's getting the same reaction.
It's his standard insult. Can't think of another one. I expect he's 5'2" himself. They usually are.They are direct personal attacks on me.
Including you?Gosh some people on forums have way too much time.
You started it. Go away then.This is so trivial.
