I’m re-posting this as I’ve moved the community to a different server for various reasons, and want to ensure anybody interested is aware.

It’s a community for discussion of the UK Freeview TV platform, with a bot which posts channel changes when they happen.

    Well slow news data are better than the alternative, I suppose.

    Interesting to hear about how the bots work. I was probably wondering about something fancier.

      Yeah, I’ve never bothered to try to create one with a moderation queue. Seems like too much work!

        And you don’t need to if actual news is fairly predictable. I’d either want to funnel a flood into a trickle or check first for false positives. I am sure there’ll be plenty along eventually.
