I would assume that most of the complaints were "sensible". I just don't watch these channels any more because they spoil my enjoyment of the TV programmes. It's a *little* distracting I agree, but I don't find it spoils my enjoyment. I hardly notice it after a while. Ignoring the DOG is just as easy as ignoring the "on" switch or any items of furniture next to the tv. YMMV I guess. I find them *very* distracting. Since watching TV is still optional I chose not to watch ;-) Once BBC1 starts the same, I will cancel my TV license and find something better to do. M. And give up all your DVDs as well? No. It is not difficult to get round this one. M. |

What's the betting Aggy responds using the words "FOOL", "IMBECILE" and that old favourite "YOU IGNORANT" but failing to prove his case. :)- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Very interesting indeed and why should we expect Aggy to let the facts get in the way of his ranting? The sad thing is, I can't stand the new BBC Three DOG either, but I am confident that in this age of short attention span and rapid rebranding, it will change soon enough before I get too annoyed with it Regards Ged |

What's wrong with watching the same channel for several hours? Nothing's 'wrong' with it - it's just that as most programmes only last an hour, and the overwhelming majority of output on most channels is either crap or of restricted interest, finding yourself watching more than a couple of programmes in a row seems unlikely to be a common occurrence. Would it really be that unusual a thing to do? I only watch BBC1 now, because it's the only channel that hasn't started putting writing all over the screen yet. That seems an odd measure of quality - does it compensate for the fact that, aside from shows pulled from BBC2 (like Doctor Who) and those which belong there (like Life in Cold Blood), BBC1's output is pretty much universally as dire as ITV's?

Explain to me how energy is released by the motion of particles? hotter. The point is, it is not the light that damages the retina, but the heat. How does this heat get to the retina? You do know that infra red radiation cannot penetrate the eye because it is absorbed by the liquid inside it. Visible light which penetrates the eye causes chemical reactions in the retina and the more intense the light the more of these chemical reactions there are and it is these chemical reactions which destroy the retina by consuming it after the reactants which enable the retina to detect light are used up before they can be replaced. Heat, and you have yet to define it is merely a by-product. actually caused by heat rather than light, and images on a television screen aren't close to being energetic enough to fry the eyes or indeed a phosphor screen.

But You are talking about a different kind of burn in. The burn in cause by DOGs is not instantaneous like a fuse blowing but is caused by progressive degeneration of the phosphor. the point is (a) it's not in any way a comparable process with the retina being damaged by exposure to sunlight, YES IT IS. Look at the sun and then close your eyes and you will see an after image. Fire a bunch of electrons at a phosphor screen and the switch of the source and it still keeps emitting light. Not open your eyes and look at the sky and you will see a dark area in the position where you looked at the sun. Do the same with the phosphor screen by firing another bunch of electrons over a wider area and the part of the screen you fired the electrons at first will give off less light than the other parts of the screen. The more you expose the phosphor to the electrons the less light it will emit until it will ultimately emit no light at all because it has been consumed. Do the same with your eyes by staring at the sun all the time any you will go blind. My old computer monitor which is over a decade old can barley display a visible picture even at maximum brightness and contrast. On top of that the image now tinted green because the other phosphors have suffered more decay. My sisters old TV which is over a decade old has also become tinted green, so was my other CRT computer monitor which was only 2 years old when it started going green. and (b) phosphor burn-in is not an issue with DOGs. No one denies that the phenomenon exists, YES IT IS! but even in the days of testcards and pre-screensaver computer monitors, it was rare and could be avoided all but completely by following basic manufacturor's recommendations to turn the machine off at night - BULL****! About 25 years ago every single monitor at Nene Collage had the main log on screen burned into it and these were tunred off over night so you are talking ABSOLUTE CRAP. At about the same time every TV on display in the local TV shops had the test card burned into it and those were also turned of when the shops closed. even prolonged use in the daytime with a static image (like a window on a computer screen) was safe. This is why you don't get phosphor burn-in from the Windows task bar even when you don't hide it. WRONG! The Windows task bar is a long grey rectangle, not bright white and pink logo like the BBC3 dog so the burn in is less noticeable and even then modern CRT computer monitors are designed to be dimmer than TV screens so that they suffer less from burn in. As for static digital images becoming permanently imprinted on screens, this is after all the reason screensavers were invented, but it tends to affect only primitive monitors and even those can usually be safely left on with a test card image overnight - it is simply not IDIOT!

Otherwise you would have to face life
-- Socrates taught his students that the pursuit of truth can only begin once they start to question and analyze every belief that they ever held dear. If a certain belief passes the tests of evidence, deduction, and logic, it should be kept. If it doesn't, the belief should not only be discarded, but the thinker must also then question why he was led to believe the erroneous "The Doctor" wrote in message ...

Do you leave your TV tuned into a station that uses solid DOGs for hours at a time? CRT but I never sit for hours on end watching tv anyway. Who does, apart from Billy No-Mates like Aggy or The Royale Family? ;-) Mountain out of a mole hill as taught by Aggs. As I thought. I was particularly amused by his threat not to watch BBC3 again. As if the BBC give a toss if some nutjob stops watching, when viewing figures are only estimated anyway. Falling viewers is often the excuse that broadcasters use for putting extra junk on screen. They see it as a way of competing with other broadcasters for the dwindling number of viewers who will put up with it. It doesn't seem to occur to them at all that they are driving the viewers away themselves by doing it. Exactly. I'm sure many people, including myself, have told them this but they don't listen. It's a classic situation: when their solution does not work, rather than reversing a decision, they say "we need more of it" and so on in a vicious circle. The ultimate conclusion of this will be when the channel has zero viewers or someone comes to their senses. M. |

Once BBC1 starts the same, I will cancel my TV license and find something better to do. You mean you don't already have better things to do than watch BBC1 (like, say, watching any other channel that isn't ITV)? I watch very little TV these days and I usually have better things to do ;-) Occasionnally there is something worth watching on BBC 1 or 2. However it would take only a small change (such as DOGs on BBC1) to ensure that I watch no TV at all (except DVDs for the pedants ;-) M. |
