Freeview is on a very sad decline. 

I'm trying to get this site back into shape.

Would a "contact your MP" function be useful - based on your Freeview transmitter?

Hi there Brian,
Lot's of Spam been infecting the General Information pages.
The Transmitter pages seem relatively free of it.
Many thanks
Richard

I have received an email today. I used to get my weekly email on a Saturday which suited me fine.
If I log-in to the mail settings tomorrow and confirm weekly, will it change the day to Saturday?

Something strange going on here Brian!

In my email, the link to Camlough Camlough (Northern Ireland) Freeview Light transmitter | free and easy for 22 years produces an empty page. My email says 4 posts.

Likewise the Idle page, Idle (Bradford, England) Full Freeview transmitter | free and easy for 22 years
The email says 2 posts.

Unless it's Spam that's being removed?

My link to Durris, Durris (Aberdeenshire, Scotland) Full Freeview transmitter | free and easy for 22 years doesn't give all the page numbers just before the comment box. This is something that has happened for a while with quite a few transmitter pages from email links.

My link to Brougher Mountain is similar, Brougher Mountain (Northern Ireland) Full Freeview transmitter | free and easy for 22 years

As an aside, many many moons ago, all email links used to go to the part of the page with the new comments. These days it's always the top of the page (sometimes not the latest page either!!).

I'm stopping here atm, as I have other things to get on with.

Chris.SE: The emails are the time selected since the last one.

The jobs run at 05:00, then 05:02 up to 05:58 then every 2 minutes from 09:00 to 23:58.

The period of time of the next one can't fall outside these hours.
