Here is the reply that Channel 5 have sent me regarding the DOG **** they have placeed on my TV screen. As you can see they have not addressed any issues which I brought up in my original complaint so I will not be watching Channel 5 again. Date: 24th October 2007 Dear Correspondent Thank you for your recent e-mail regarding the re-introduction of our DOG. In an environment of up to 400 channels, we feel that it is entirely appropriate to carry a DOG. The vast majority of channels carry them, most permanently and virtually every channel at some point has one during the day. 85% of households in the UK are watching digital TV and we believe that the majority of this audience are extremely visually literate and comfortable with the use of DOGs. The logo is translucent white and unobtrusive; it will appear on screen at all programming times except for during commercial and promotional breaks. Your comments about the re-introduction of our logo have been noted in our Viewer Enquiries Report, which is circulated throughout the company. If there is anything further we can help you with, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for your interest in Five. Yours sincerely Craig VIEWER ADVISOR Huh, I think it shows even more, that they can't even be arsed to reply personally, as this is Adrian's reply Dear Correspondent Thank you for your recent e-mail regarding the re-introduction of our DOG.

Interesting as there are standard texts in that which I also had when
complaining about 5US and Life using the audio description channel for normal sound and thus making it un listenable all the time unless you turned AD off when there was no AD program running. They did not address the fact that the two sound sources have a delay, and simply said something nebulous about it needing time to set up, then put the paragraphs about circulated etc, on the end as with yours. Maybe you should write back to them pointing out that maybe they should announce the channel every thirty seconds on the AD channel to allow those with no sight to share in the irritation of channel id as lots of us are so thick we cannot recall which number we keyed into the remote...:-) Brian -- Brian Gaff....Note, this account does not accept Bcc: email. graphics are great, but the blind can't hear them Email: __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________ "Agamemnon" wrote in message . uk...

That's an interesting take - people who don't like DOGs are "visually illiterate". I guess people who don't like graffiti must be visually illiterate too - which is ironic, since most people who write graffiti are also illiterate. Cheers, David. |

They are hoping people are going to think along the lines of 'Are they saying there's something wrong with me because I don't like DOGs? I'm perfectly normal! There's nothing wrong with me! .... Maybe I must like DOGs then...' :-/ -- Regards, Chris. (Remove Elvis's shoes to email me) |
