ECCOnoob Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 What a completely stupid and exagerated guardian article and thread this is. Did you all miss the key point that was repeated twice in the article. all patients had to do is press the off button on the TV. It no different than be housebound and being "forced" to watch adverts from claims companies or debt management all day. Guess what........ The same simple fix applies. Switch off the set.

Did you all miss the key point that was repeated twice in the article. all patients had to do is press the off button on the TV. We have a contradictory account from earlier in the thread you also cannot turn off these tvs, they default back to on and showing adverts /wasting electricity 24-7 even if you have no intention of purchasing a card. As I have no intention of ending up in a hospital bed anytime soon I can't say for myself. I cannot however see the need to have TV's above hospital bed's. Bit of a waste of public money if you ask me. And I'm sure it classes as torture to show an endless loop of any politician mouthing insincerities.

alchresearch Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I was in the NGH two weeks ago, unused screens were off and showing nothing. Turn it on and you get a generic welcome screen with adverts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So once again the Guardian comes up with a Tory-bashing scare story that turns out to be made up. I'm amazed anyone believes any of the right-on PC claptrap it comes out with.

Switch off the set. the ones in weston park come back on after they have been turned off, we asked why it was constantly on when my mum hadnt bought any card and we'd turned it off.
