This is apparently the world's meatiest sandwich, and with around two stone of sliced animal parts inside a bun some 24 inches wide, we're not in any position to disagree with that claim. Read More >
The long-running investigation into BSkyB's possible monopoly of film services in the UK is over, with the Competition Commission finding that Sky doesn't have an unfair stranglehold on distributing Hollywood blockbuster movies in the UK, thanks in part to the new wave of digital streaming services.

The legend that is Sir David Attenborough is a pioneering soul, and he believes that nature in 3D is the future. To start, he's just given a bunch of plants the 3D treatment, because it's a heck of a lot easier to film plants than it is animals with a hulking great 3D camera set-up. With the magic of timelapse, you'll apparently get to see mice eating plants and all manner of strange going-ons, but there's a catch. Read More >
We assumed the gorgeous 8K ultra-HDTVs we saw at CES this year were years away. But Japan's NHK has just completed the first over-the-air broadcast of a 7680x4320 signal using UHF frequencies—just when you'd finished paying off your giant HDTV display. Read More >

Because that's the big idea of MTV UK's new streaming service, which gives users a pay-as-you-go option when it comes to watching its range of intellectually stimulating documentary programming about the history of World War II. Read More >
The BBC has announced plans to publicly test its first "companion app" designed to complement a TV show, with ancient wardrobe valuation show Antiques Roadshow the unlikely beneficiary of the first dual-screen tech test. Read More >
At least that’s what broadcasters are saying. 4G networks using the 800MHz band will butt right-up against the Freeview bands, creating serious interference for anyone living within 2km of a 4G mast. That could put up to 2.3 million homes in a TV black spot including yours, and what the hell are we going to do without TV? Read More >
