I would be happy for the BBC to close down permanently

Contact the RSPCA ASAP, They like DOG lovers (Which is all we'd have
without the BBC) !!

I'd prefer Sky went bust and took it's American TV programming tactics
with it for good.

So the BBC don't use DOGs Eh?
What a load of ********.
As for American shows, great, something with a style, instead of sad little
UK soaps where everyone is depressed all the time, or left wing ********
posing as entertainment.
If the BBC wants to carry on, fine, but on a commercial setting so I can
choose not to pay for the crap they dish out or not as the case might be.

And how exactly do you avoid paying for the cr4p on commercial
television that you don't watch ?

By not buying the advertised products for a start.

But how do you determine the identity of those products ?

I don't care if Quincy is in HD, it's just so full of unbelievably awful
acting. The bloke who plays Quincy has the acting ability of a concrete post.

The late Jack Klugman could do both shouty and whiney.

According to the IMDB he still can.

...surely with all the repeats on BBC not all of the BBC HD output is
going to be Planet Earth and Attenborough documentaries. Surely they're
going to have to start broadcasting Dad's Army and a bunch of old Python
stuff at some stage.

Excuse my ignorance (and the time to go a hunting in these groups), but
how is that going to look?
P

Great I would imagine. The older the material the more likely it is to
have been
recorded on film which easily exceeds HD quality.


You're correct it'll be the late 80's where the problem lies as they started
to use Video, I have Season 1 Hill Street Blues and it looks awful on my
HDTV


Season one of Hill Street was 1981.
