Quote:Looks like Freesat with it’s Freetime will be left aloneThe question was about whether Freetime would be able to maintain its shaky toehold on Freeview. Which looks doubtful.
You would think Panasonic would have some influence for keeping Freetime working on Freeview as many of their current Freeview TVs have Freetime built in. Panasonic are going to have a lot of annoyed customers (like me) if the Freetime on TVs just purchased stops working.
There’s no reason to think Freetime-on-Freeview will stop working on existing Panasonic models that have that feature.

I always thought that <free time> was on Freesat, and Not Freeview.

Some 2015 Panasonic Freeview TVs have Freetime on Freeview. See http://www.johnlewis.com/electricals/televisions/all-tvs/panasonic=brand/c800005013 for some examples.

The first 4 TVs are Freeview HD & freetime, all the others are Freeview HD/Freesat HD & freetime.
Panasonic introduced freeview freetime into some TV’s last year, I have a 32inch bought in late Apr.

I have two 32″ bought in the last couple of weeks.
Brian, I think Freetime was first marketed as ‘free time’ and was developed by the Freesat team for Freesat. The software, with some tweaks, was made available to Freeview and is now marketed as ‘Freetime’, one word. I’m sure someone will correct me if I’ve not got that quite right. Up until a few weeks ago I thought Freetime was only available on Freesat, and so did the salesman in John Lewis.

Panasonic have freetime TV’s both with satellite tuners and freeview tuners (these work just like a humax freetime box, my Panny has twin freesat(freetime) and twin freeview tuners.
They also have freetime on TV’s that only have DVB-T2 inputs (no DVB-S2 inputs).
It caused some confusion when the Panny freetime TV’s were announced and when the first models arrived they had no satellite inputs
