    Default Freeview labeled as 'CRAP !!!' 'Experts'

    Todays Sydney Sun-Herald (Sunday 11.01.09) carries an article on page 35 that calls 'Freeview' 'Digital Mutton Dressed as Lamb' "Experts" and carries a quote by television analyst David Knox, 'Its just Lipstick on a Pig........a new way of watching the same old Crap.
    The rest of the article is just as complimentary of the Freeview presentation'
    Now we know dont we?? After all we have now been told by 'Experts' what we all ready knew.

    Expect nothing and they will surpass themselves making sure thats exactly what you get.

    They cannot control the digital channels that they are running now.
    Guides wrong, no guides, three channels of the same program.
    WOW! technology, maybe the networks need to find somebody that knows how to use it.
    What happens if I press alt + F4?

    Its just digital promotion. We wouldn't have had to deal with Freeview if the Liberal government had just allowed the channels to multicast in the first place.

    I'm actually happy they are shoving out a guide these days, maybe a few less people will stop paying for something that they should be given for nothing! I'm happy with it for what I pay for it!
    Coding in C is like sending a 3 year old to do groceries. You gotta tell them exactly what you want or you'll end up with a cupboard full of pop tarts and pancake mix.

    not actually 3 channels, 3 channel headers pointing to the same channel.

    still, agree, lipstick on a pig, gotta love that quote, lol

    Blame the paytv lobbists, they are the ones who have been behind the govnment NOT opening up FTA digital channels, a direct FREE competator. makes the playing field tilt one way, and not towards them!

    FTA Tv in Australia is crap, They should take a leaf out of the European Union Model. FTA Satellite and copious amounts of FTA DTV programming. No Need for PAY TV in the Euro Zone. All advertising is done at the commencement of the program and in the middle, thats it.

    No need for special EPG to toss out the adverts. So much for the Digtal revolution. Its well and truly F****** In Australia.
