Not really bothered about more HD channels. I have a super duper 1080 telly. But only occasionally use the HD channels. Would just prefer more interesting channels and less shopping ones. I know adverts pay for most of what I see. But that is why I record most of what I watch except the news so I can jump over the adverts.

Give me SD if I had to choose. I have been looking at all these super new TVs 4k or what ever. Think I will stick with my little 40 inch one thank you. Glad I did,nt go with 3d either. But hey hope the rest of you are happy with your choices. Nice to still live in a society where we can pick or choose. Hate where everything is changed and you have no say in the matter. Hate how most of your shopping sizes have been reduced but you still pay the same or even more for it. How long before oil companies reduce the size of a litre so they can boost their profits even more?

The tv licence is for having a TV the money from the licence goes to BBC. I don,t think ITV ch5 get anything from it. So all the cuts they are planning effect their staff not other channels. Itv do not get money from me because I bought something. Their money comes from their advertisers and programs they sell. Oh sorry I bought a tin of jeyes fluid today Itv must get some of that ?????????????

No I don,t think they pay money for nothing. But every advert is paid for by someone and the longer and when it is shown is influenced by who pays the most. But it ain,t coming out of my TV licence at £140 a time.
Who pays you Brian? mmmmmmmmmmm

As long as staff are not forced to work night shifts when they don,t want I agree. But then 90% of night time viewing is repeats anyway and not really worth watching most of the time.

Can you remember when people actually use to talk to each other in the pub?? I was in the local the other night there was 4 young people to left of me and 5 to the right. Eight of them were on the mobile all the time I was there. The other lad spoke to us more than his friends question mark. Sorry they did speak to him. It was his round next. Oh for the good old days when it was a cig in one hand and a drink in the other LOL.
