live tv

Live television is a television production broadcast in real-time, as events happen, in the present. Show broadcast live include newscasts, morning shows, awards shows, sports programs, and, occasionally, episodes of television series. Live television was more common until the late 1950s, when videotape technology was invented. Because of the prohibitive cost, adoption was slow, and some television shows remained live until the 1970s, such as soap operas. To prevent unforeseen issues, live television programs may be delayed, which allows censors to edit the program. Some programs may be broadcast live in certain time zones and delayed in others.

    Question Box To Pause Live TV

    My mother in law bought a new TV but it doesn't have the option to pause live TV. I think I need to get her a box that allows her to pause live TV. Any boxes you would recommend? Ideally fairly cheap (no £200+ boxes please) and must be very easy to use.

    Hi, I recently got a Panasonic TX-32MS360B tv for my parents, one of the key features they need is the ability to pause live TV.

    Confirming postcode for ITVX

    Hi, Whenever I navigate to ITVX and attempt to watch live TV, my postcode is shown and I then get the option to change the postcode or confirm it. Is there no way for the system just to accept my postcode so I don't have to confirm it every time? It's a tiny bit annoying. Cheers, GingerOverlord

    Question Roku Express 4K HD Streaming Media Player - Live TV Channel

    I have just bought one of these and I was interested, after seeing some YT videos, in Live TV with a conventional TV channel guide. However, there is no sign of this as far as I can see, on my device. I swear I saw a vid with BBC 1, BBC 2, ITV 1, CH4, CH5 etc. showing in a guide on a Roku...

    finally leaving sky.. what now for live tv and catch up?

    hi all, after 16 years i've finally decided i probably don't need sky. We don't use it that often and when we do we just flick through the recordings which are mainly on channels 1-5. I'm looking for alternatives and I have been looking at freesat (I have no aerial but do have a dish) recording...

    Earth TV - Live Waterhole Cam

    Earth TV is new channel on Freeview. I caught a bit the morning and they were showing a live camera feed from water holes in Africa. 😎 They showed you hippos at one and elephants at another. Not much happened in the small bits I saw but its very relaxing to watch. There is the occasional bit...

    slow load up

    Hi, got a LG Oled, approx 3yrs old. Very happy with it overall, but this last week it has become ridiculously slow to go from the home page, showing the apps etc etc and going to live TV now takes 10-15 mins. The banner is urging me to explore the Webos and all its new benefits, but it looks...

    Best alternative to Virgin 360 ? Live TV & recording?

    I’ve read so many threads now & had settled on a new 4K Freesat box as a best alternative to dumping our Virgin 360 box at the end of this month, but now having read a few reviews sayings it’s slow & clunky I’m researching what else there is, I wondered does anyone have an opinion on what the...

    I don’t watch much live TV but I do like to watch some classics over Christmas. I have a freesat reciever but today discovered there’s no satellite signal, guess something has moved in a storm. It’s been a while since I used it. Just wondering if there is anyway of getting freesat/Freeview...

    TCL 43S405 using Live TV Pause, come back in a few minutes & it's skipped forward... why?

    This is a head scratcher (my 1st post here, hiya!). I've had this TV for ~3 years. The DVR aspect of this (and I believe similar) model is a big help. Not all I'd like (I'm investigating alternatives, a tuner, a 3rd party DVR), but I use it all the time to watch OTA antenna TV. With a 16GB...

    ITV hub no live TV

    Seems this has been reported before but there is no live TV on LG's itv hub app? Any idea why, works fine on all my other devices so is it that LG have not licensed ITV Hub? Anything that I can do other than forget the Smart Apps and go back to using my firestick? (its faster!)

    Can You Pause Live TV With A Memory Stick Inserted

    Hi, I have a LG CX and I record onto a memory stick by scheduling TV programmes through the built in electronic programme guide. I was going to ask as to why I can’t pause live tv, but as I was writing this I realised that perhaps it will only pause a programme that I’m actually recording? Is...
