As TV reception is so bad where I live, why not pump out all the London Freeview channels over the net under one server location? . No need for players and also it could have a menu page.
Lets be honest, its 2023, not 1923.. and most of us ordinary mortals have fiber internet. Its not as If I haven't got a TV license! I live 25 Miles as the crow flies from Marble Arch, on top of a hill.
Why is this country so hopeless and getting anything right?

Chris Kenney:

If you provide a full postcode (or one for a very close-by shop/pub) we can check your predicted reception and possibly offer further advise.

Is your TV a "smart" TV connected to the internet? A lot of TV channels can be streamed and watched using Apps that are installed on the TV.
