I haven't assumed anything.
But I know how I am watching here in France.
It is via satellite.
I have already said upthread that some people use a decoder box.
Either way it is totally legal.

Maybe you could start a petition to get the totally legal Astra satellite removed from space and tell those naughty UK (other countries are available) channels to stop using it?

So why not ask OP to clarify how she is watching before posting?

You probably come to the UK to steal healthcare from the NHS too.

@SirTarquin thanks, well explained.

SirTarquin · 25/04/2023 12:28

If you are in Country A watching broadcasts from Channel B in Country B may be legal or it may not be.

It totally depends on how you are accessing it and whether your form of access is within the terms and condition of Channel B or a licensee of Channel B.

It is possible for it to be illegal though.

No it doesn’t. You have ZERO idea what you’re on about. Piracy can include watching things live. So much ignorance.

I should have been more specific - watching things live via the original broadcaster is not piracy.

I don't need the OP to clarify anything. Why would I?

You are the one that said it is illegal to watch UK TV outside of the UK.

As @SirTarquin has clarified, there certainly are issues if you use a vpn and there are some "questionable" streaming services out there.

I don't use a vpn, I access UK programmes via a satellite which is totally legal

No, I use the French healthcare system, have a carte vitale and pay every time I visit the doctor. Would you like my receipt from last weeks visit, or would you like to continue accusing me of being a thief?

Do people seriously worry about this?

I've never watched daytime telly in my life.

Housewivesarguingagain · 25/04/2023 14:01

@Coolhwip Why are you so concerned about this…wow..🙈
I pay to use a tv service that provides U.K. it’s not illegal, nothing about it is, it’s via the internet, I don’t know the ins and outs, but it’s legit and legal and ok.

All this illegal watching TV talk is boring!!

PS is looking even more smug,if that's even possible. He really is untouchable isn't he? 😡

IMustDoMoreExercise · 25/04/2023 14:19

I hope PS leaves soon and Holly and Alison are the main presenters together.

I'm questioning why Holly wants to be bezzy mates with Alison
Could it be tactical? Hmm

I don't know. I assumed that HW would be very snobby towards her when they presented together a few weeks ago, but she seemed to be genuinely lovely and respectful towards her.

I don't think it was an act because she isn't a very good actress. I can tell that she really tries to act as if she likes PS, but her face and body language gives her away.

I remember once when Stephen Malhern was on TM and Holly was reminising about working with him and how much she enjoyed it and what a laugh they had together. PS acted like a jealous boyfriend and cut in to stop her talking. She was so shocked.

Paul2023 · 05/06/2023 07:55

She’s back on This Morning today with a prepared statement apparently.

Zonder · 05/06/2023 07:59

Probably about how sad she was PS lied to her and everyone knows he lied to he because you can see how painstakingly he repeated that in his Whatsapps that were made public!

Paul2023 · 05/06/2023 12:27

Let’s be frank. You have to be pretty ruthless to get to the top in the entertainment business, show business, call it what you will.
It’s not always about being nice to climb the greasy pole. Like anything in life , politics and business leaders.
Bosses of big companies have had to tread on people to get there. Same as Prime Ministers. They didn’t get the top job by being nice guys.

If people get somewhere in life because they know someone that can give them a leg up ,they’ll do it.No pun intended

Paul2023 · 05/06/2023 12:29

Above comment was a general one, not aimed at anyone in particular

MrBit · 05/06/2023 12:31

I hope they bring in Ben shepherd, they made a good pairing
I don't think she knew for certain and in her shoes I'd want to believe my working partner when he said the rumours weren't true

Paul2023 · 05/06/2023 12:43

Holly didn’t write that speech I guarantee.

I think that Hollys speech was written by ITV, to leave Schofield isolated and leave all the blame with him. So ITV can shun any responsibility.
And so the show can move on and leave PS to face the music on his own. ITV have literally got their barge pole out.
