we turn ours off all the time, and it is believed the office gets a phone call from somewhere, telling themm its ben switched off again lol.

What a waste o money .
Incredible! Do you get stuck in Room 101 after it's been switched off a couple of times? Ours is never off, but it's in a room where the stationary and spare pouches are kept. The room is permanently locked.

I don't blame you for switching the bloody thing off. Its enough that they send that senseless paper to your house every few weeks without adding to the insult by imposing on your M/R.

enlightem me please sir ! :hmmmm
The original idea of the screens was to give us propaganda during WTL sessions and a pep talk from The Leighton Channel.
Because of this, there should be a computer behind the screen which is running the slideshow that you see on the screen. It also has a wireless broadband connection to stream The Leighton Channel to us.

And you thought they'd only wasted £1k on a TV! ... and £700 on a computer ... £100 quid on the router/broadband ... and £300 installations and fittings ... in most DOs in the country

The telly's in the canteen are Quadrants. The big tv's all offices were getting are another matter. Our's is in one of the posh meeting rooms, although I have yet to see it.
It doesn't excuse Quadrant from running propaganda, though, although it does take you mind away from the terrible food.
