[updated:LAST EDITED ON 26-Apr-02 AT 02:50 PM (GMT)]I fully back the sense of using DTT in this country
1)Technically it should be easier to retain territorial limits than satellite and so limit the unautorised viewing simply by spillover.
1a) At the moment though the limitation of the coverage has been one of the major reasons for lack of takeup
2) A number of smaller broadcasters on the platform (with incentive from the government for fledglings to run for a short time with reduced cost) would enbsure the content is there.
2a) There appeared to be no competition within the programme lists to ensure the four players had to keep up the best content - result most Ive spoken to who subscribed were less than impressed after the first week
3) A true alternative for those that dont want/cannot have satellite
3a)Cable seems to have taken up a lot of the slack through more effective promotoion. ITVD was promoting itself really only to those already with a box.
4) A suitable addition for those that already have satellite
4a) Content was almost identical, no need for both.
5) Technical enhancements to ensure the viewer does not realise there is yet another box in the living room
5a) Single channel output, indifferent VCR port, lack of remote eye, ungainly remote control and tediously inefective operation were serious criticisms which led to the demise
6) Good management bringing both democratic and sensible programme content onto the platform
6a) Need I say more
I hope the take up does exceed digiboxes, but its taken a bit of a pasting this month, and better technology is on its way to give further content into the home
