Thread Name: BBC Poor Value? (UK Interest)
Subject: RE: BS: BBC4 Poor Value?
Well Dave, I don't have 2 freeview boxes in this household for nothing! Reception can be difficult at times here - in fact freeview changed thier story for my postcode from a maybe to a no way but I can get it most of the time with the use of an areil amp as well as amps for the tv and my pc card.
BBC4 was by far the main reason I went onto using freeview and so far have enjoyed thier folk music output that I have managed to catch.
I do post over there BTW and have recently expressed the opinion that I would like to see BBC4 remain more specialised rather than being just another channel carrying the same old stuff. I don't see a point in more soaps, comedys, etc. they are 10 a penny. To have a station willing to cater for more minority interests IMO is excellent. That said, I of course hope that thier coverage of folk will encourage others to learn what a wealth of fine music we have in this one area.
