denlin Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 TV is run by Hospedia (formerly Patient Line). you can buy pre pay cards for £3.50, £5 and £10 but not sure how long you can watch for. Maybe you can contact Hospedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FORE Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I think TV is free for some hours of the day (0800-1200??). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGELFIRE1 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Don't forget, we are customers now, not patients. So we are charged accordingly. Quite wrong, but there you are. Angel1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donotremove Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 And there was me thinking you went to hospital to get better not to watch television. People objecting to having to pay to watch television in hospital can simply not watch it. Take a book in with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowglobe Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 This shows http://www.sth.nhs.uk/patients/inpatient-guide/your-stay the cost of the cards but it doesn't mention how long they last Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCOnoob Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Don't forget, we are customers now, not patients. So we are charged accordingly. Quite wrong, but there you are. Angel1. Yes in a way you are customers. You are paying for the premium service of bedside tv with a range of radio/tv channels plus added extras such as direct phone and internet. that's what you are paying for. bugger all to do with the hospital. If you want to go back to the day of communal television rooms and nothing but volunteer led hospital radio at your bedside, that's fine. Dont use the service and keep hospitals being hospitals. ---------- Post added 14-01-2016 at 19:28 ---------- Free hospital WiFi promised by the government will finally and thankfully kill off the scam that is Hospedia as a business model Scam?? Premium service. Premium price. Captive audience. Its called business. Nobody is forced to buy it. Nobody is forced to use it. Nobody is 'tricked' into giving their money away. If people dont like it, they can take books, a tablet, a laptop or listen to their own music on an MP3 player. ---------- Post added 14-01-2016 at 19:33 ---------- Back on track and in answer to the OP the cards usually last 24 hours depending on the type you by. A link from another hospital's website says: £2.50 for 2 hrs, £5 for 12 hrs, £10 for 2 days, £20 for 5 days, £30 for 10 days, £40 for 20 days and £45 for 30 days.
