Digital broadcasting in this country is currently crap. The transmitter signal output is subject to all sorts of vagaries - weather being a major one - and we frequently get massive picture breakup on commercial channels (ITV particularly) in the afternoon and evening. We have to resort to terrestrial for ITV 1 - what shall we do when terrestrial is switched off in 2012? I assume that bandwidth for digital will improve once terrestrial has gone - but that's just a guess. If it doesn't improve in 2012 then I'm ditching TV for good and will catch what I want by other means.

Since getting Freeview a year or two ago, my choice of channels has widened - and the choice of decent programmes diminished, to my mind. Thank heavens for BBC4 - the rest just seems to be soaps, food programmes and talent shows. Utter crap.

Always good to have a rant now and then... :-)
