I'm very surprised that a main channel would just die off like this. Gonna pee off a lot of people.

HD news literally doesn't work because of regional news. Have you ever tried watching it? Most of the time it's on a countdown timer saying change the channel

For me that's BBC 1, BBC News shows London local news.

I think eventually we'll get all our tv via broadband.

Kinda surprised it's taken this long. I had Kingston Interactive TV (KIT) 20+ years ago via ADSL, which was pretty good, but required better internet than most people had.

Kingston Communications, a regional telecommunications operator in the UK, launched Kingston Interactive Television (KIT), an IPTV over digital subscriber line (DSL) service in September 1999. The operator added additional VoD service in October 2001 with Yes TV, a VoD content provider. Kingston was one of the first companies in the world to introduce IPTV and IP VoD over ADSL as a commercial service. The service became the reference for various changes to UK Government regulations and policy on IPTV. In 2006, the KIT service was discontinued, subscribers having declined from a peak of 10,000 to 4,000.
