radios-tv.co.uk, does it exist?
Hi looks looks Chris has pulled the plug on his forum, radios-tv.co.uk, there is no response, just a blank page.
Unless anyone knows better? |

Re: radios-tv.co.uk, does it exist?
Yes, it's definitely still there but, as Keith says, the forum is closed.

Re: radios-tv.co.uk, does it exist?
Well not here it isn't.
Perhaps in view of the current restrictions on porn sites in the 'pines it has become a banned site. I thought it was quite refined actually. Not getting anything on the page, just totally blank. Tried it from your link Keith, nothing. Last edited by Boater Sam; 29th Jan 2017 at 9:59 am. Reason: addition |

Re: radios-tv.co.uk, does it exist?
The link works fine for me. As you suggest, the site is probably being blocked at your end.

Re: radios-tv.co.uk, does it exist?
Hi Sam,
The Radio-TV link posted by Keith is now SSL, i.e. https. Chris has changed the site to SSL in the last few days, is it worth clearing out your web browser cache etc and try again. If that does not clear it perhaps there are restrictions on SSL sites where you are. Frank |

Re: radios-tv.co.uk, does it exist?
It was working last night fine, I was aware of the SSL change, it seemed to have made no difference until today when it's just not doing anything.

Re: radios-tv.co.uk, does it exist?
Deleted it from my web browser list, still nothing. Perhaps it's the heat.

If it was on a banned list I would have thought there would be a warning message. Could be as simple as someone at your DNS provider has corrupted a config file, it will probably be available for you later today. I think you have access to a tablet computer, does that fail as well? Frank |

See this: http://www.forum.radios-tv.co.uk/vie...p?f=93&t=13714 And this: http://www.forum.radios-tv.co.uk/ Seemingly, the forum has been 're-manifested' in another format and re-registration is necessary (if request approved), but you can view posts as a 'guest'. The archive notice states: ...a few of us will be found on the Radios-TV's integrated forum:- www.radios-tv.co.uk/forum/ (I've accessed all of the above links as a 'guest' just now without difficulty). Hope that helps Boater Sam and others.

I can access it as normal, in this case using an Android tablet.

Re: radios-tv.co.uk, does it exist?
Good thought Frank, thanks.
Its exactly the same, nothing on the page, no warnings, with the ipad. Its curious. It obviously goes looking because it puts the title of the forum on the tab header, then zilch. Internet is very fast here at this time of night and the hotel wifi is exceptionally good. City life for now, not on a beach this week, that starts mid February. For a whole month, life is tough for some. Last edited by Boater Sam; 29th Jan 2017 at 2:49 pm. Reason: addition |

Re: radios-tv.co.uk, does it exist?
Now, this morning I get no forum but do get the following message.
Forbidden - Visitors from your country are not permitted to browse this site. So it would seem that here the radios-tv site is considered to salacious. Perhaps someone in the UK could inform Chris about this please? |

Re: radios-tv.co.uk, does it exist?
Have you tried to access an obvious porn site to establish if your access is being censored somewhere, either by the hotel or their ISP?
It's possible a hotel would try to block internet porn to encourage residents to pay for their TV porn channels, and this site may be a false positive. Terms like 'TV' and 'trannie' can trip porn filters. |

Re: radios-tv.co.uk, does it exist?
Good Heavens Paul!
We don't do things like that in the Philippines, No porn required, one can go blind just walking the streets! If you are giving me an excuse to misbehave.................... No, plenty of hot porn available everywhere ( probably full of viruses now ) so its not that. The hotel has no interest in selling porn movies, we already have over 300 TV channels, mostly commercial or religious. Its got something to do with the security they recently imposed on the site but it seems not to have taken effect straightaway. Bit of a pest, got nowt to read. |

Re: radios-tv.co.uk, does it exist?
I wonder whether the likes of http://405-line.tv/ would also fall into that sort of trap.
By the way, my mind boggles conjuring up an image of a tr*nsv*st*te radio or television.

Re: radios-tv.co.uk, does it exist?
If the Philippines is being blocked, you will need to use a UK based proxy server to access it. Google for more info. Some sort of subscription is normally needed for such a service.
