In the Guardian, on the nonsense that ITV "may" go the BBC's way ...........
Have Fun,
Mark.
P.S. On a weekend rant ..................
Even Freeview now has 30+ channels - when it only ever wanted upto 30. It wanted to be free, but in the end it probably won't be. Nonsense! Its ITV digidroll all over again.
I'm so angry with this w/s digital nonsense. Cue symbol )(-red
Ideal World the other day was selling a "plasma" for the "first time". The plasma demo picture was a feed of another Ideal channel squashed into a GBP 2,000 product. Great.
What is it with you guys? Not only are plasma screens expensive and nasty - Ideal World is a 4:3 broadcaster ????
Yet, it got even worse. The numb-nut doing the demo later showed "Idependance Day" on the same screen.
Most DVD bods might note that most FOX films are usually authored in 16:9 (probably thanks to the UK's obsession with 16:9) and not in the original format. Anyway, this demo-person didn't at all notice that everyone on the film seemed a little fat: yep, the guy had letterboxed a 16:9 feature on a plasma?
I have a friend with a w/s set and he thinks that watching Moira Stewart reading the news at the weekend "in fat mode" is quite normal? Yeh, for him maybe. I would rather speculate that that is why the UK has an obesity problem? Too many numb-nuts not knowing how to use their w/s sets; coz, for them, everyone looks normal; i.e., fat. You can thank the BBC for this.
I only hope that OFCOM legislate for HDTV the inclusion of PUO's - to stop anyone, who will probably be by that time extremely fat, from fooking around with the aspect ratios of any television service and/or DVD.
Erggghhh!
Separate Satellite? News to me I hope SKY know this?At stake is whether ITV continues to pay for the place on BSkyB's satellite and its encryption service, which stops viewers outside the UK picking up ITV channels, or joins the BBC by broadcasting "in the clear" on a separate satellite.
Have Fun,
Mark.
