BBC determined to **** on its paying viewers

After ****ing on paying BBC3 viewers by inflicting DOGs on every single
programme including films whereas Film4 does not think them necessary.

After ****ing on paying BBC2 viewers by inflicting scrolling what's next
bars on them at the top of the screen only seconds before a programme ends
and the announcer tells you what's on next anyway.

The BBC has now decided to **** on paying BBC4 viewers by dropping its
advanced showing of the next episode of Life on Mars after the previous one
finishes in BBC1 so that now it will be one episode behind and not ahead.

Um, why not watch it on BBC4, then you can watch the
next one a week early on BBC1.

Does it really matter which channel shows it first and which
second?

Tonights episode on BBC1 was pre-empted by the football.

So?

Next weeks episode on BBC4 will be episode 2 instead of episode 4, so what's
the point in watching it when its the episode before the one on BBC1?

Because it will be 2 weeks early on BBC1.

Yes it does. What's the point in watching episode 3 on BBC1 and then
watching episode 2 on BBC4. The BBC are CRAZY. Hardy anyone will watch BBC4
because of this.

Furthermore because of the football on BBC1, analogue BBC viewers in
Wales had the following choice.

BBC1 Wales - Football - Reading v Manchester Utd
BBC2 Wales - Football - Cardiff City v TNS

PATHETIC BBC.


PLUS LIFE ON MARS EPISODE 4 where is it????

OK I misunderstood, I thought they were just stalling a week to keep just
one ahead of BBC1. As you say this is crap.

The *ONLY* way? So the EPG, MHEG what's on pages, radio times or other
listings mags, digiguide or daily rag don't count?

They say that they have research that says 70% of viewers change
channels as soon as the end credits start, so this is the only way
that people will be able to know what is on next.

'Only' ? Have you not seen a newspaper, EPG, Ceefax/Teletext, Internet, Radio
Times etc?

It would be more useful to people who miss it on BBC1. As it is now,
if you miss it you would need to wait for it to be on UKGold and watch
it with ad breaks in the middle of a sentence.

BBC4 could have done a weekend catch-up marathon instead.
