I think that you are confusing Ozzie with George.

That explains a lot. Cameron appointed the wrong one as Chancellor! :-)

You will probably change your mind about this when the SNP appoint Lord
Connery as Chancellor of an Independent HaggisLand.

I don't really understand why they will be permitted to transmit
significant levels of interference.

Because they waved billions of quid in front of the government / OfCom.

It may turn out to be a questionable investment. See:

And South Korea has a 30% take-up of 4G contracts.

No, I'd still think Cameron was wrong. :-)

Mind you, Connery seems to have much the same approach. Tax exile who
keeps his cash hidden offshore and then preaches to the rest of us.

Slainte,

From a consumer's perspective does satellite viewing have any
advantages over Freeview other than a wider selection of stations? Is
it less prone to interference/reception problems?

You have stated the main advantage.

After this it does depend somewhat on the location of the consumer, there are some areas where Freeview reception is not good and satellite would be better.
Satellite is less likely to suffer from local interference, thermostats, trees, other radio transmitters, radio hams, CBers etc. and by the look of news reports 4G too.

My neighbour asked me to cut a tree down, since in summer (when in leaf) he got poor
reception on Sky.

I hope you refused. Trees are more important than Sky.

That would have looked better spelt "$ky"

I get the //m. dot version because the dimwits who do the BBC site take for
granted that using NetSurf on an ARM hardware box means I must be using a
mobile. The result does look quaint on an HD monitor. :-) Readable, though.

Yes, I've complained. ...And in the best tradition of BBC practice, been
ignored. As have others who have complained.

Scroll down to the Tuesday 1900 GMT blog.

And South Korea has a 30% take-up of 4G contracts.

How I would weep for the telcos if they have just bought a pig in a poke...

However I assume part of the game-plan is to make DTTV harder for people to
use, thus pushing people toward paying to get it via 4G instead!

Ve Haff Ways of Making you adopt 4G! :-)

Slainte,

Jim

He's the sort of person I think of as an "absentee patriot".
