Now I've moved from Beds & Herts
Ambulance Service to East Anglia,

You never told us about this!

Bill

Sorry, must've slipped my mind. Beds & Herts lost all their Patient
Transport contracts & they have been taken over by private companies.
Thing is now, the hospitals are compaining that the private companies
are charging more than the Ambulance Service were. The whole idea of
changing over was to save money. That was the idea of the 'Budget
Managers'.

Would you please learn to snip posts like this please, saves a lot of
time having to scroll right down to the bottom to read your
contribution!. Just leave enough of the original like above on one
"page" so there is sufficient continuity.

Thanks

Sorry - more often than not I do, but in this case a new reader would
probably benefit from considering the preceding detail in relation to the
point I was trying to make.

You could do your bit for the environment, and take all his empties to the
bottle bank.

Further down the thread now - another twopennorth - ever thought about
doing a video/DVD? Pictures are supposed to paint thousands of
words.....

Yes, we actually do this sometimes. I only do it when the system serves
more than 30 dwellings though because the cost is disproportionate for
less. I just make a series of slides. We always do this if we have to
change a channel (we put it on the old, now disused channel).

I was thinking more along the lines of a standard production that describes
the whole TV development scenario and the various ways of delivering the
programming. My impression was that much of what you include in your
leaflet is a (much need) bit of education from which loads of people would
benefit. If you were to combine this with a small printed leaflet that is
case-specific to the individual customer (and hence less detailed) referring
to the video for background, the initial cost of production of the
all-purpose video would be a much longer term investment and unit costs
would be more reasonable (perhaps?). Only a thought from a
non-practitioner, though..........

I wish I could get hold of such a DVD, ready made.

Ohh you bad bad man! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! I'm
tempted to copy the above and put it on Another Forum.

in Marky's lair.

I'm giving up now because it's starting to become a brain strain to
suggest alternatives, and maybe nothing can be done to ease the
explanation of the competing satellite systems, anyway. I'll just
mention that I don't think that the non-techie will have an easy job of
extracting the sense of what the words "The new TV system simply
replaces the satellite dish" actually mean, although it's the key to
understanding what the system is about.

Actually, that was one of the paragraphs I had trouble understanding!
(I know, I know) but when it said the new system replaces the
satellite dish, I thought - what satellite dish?? They didn't have a
satellite dish to start with, how can this system have replaced it??
It took a little while for me to work out that Bill meant that a
satellite dish wouldn't be required.

A couple of other points for Bill.....

Freesat from Sky is I think £150 including a card, you only have to
buy the card if you are going to use an existing box.

How do you know there will be boxes suitable for Freesat (the BBC
version" for £70? I've not heard any prices quoted, and we don't know
if the present generation of FTA boxes will cut the mustard.

You say they could instead use a PVR if they don't want to go for Sky
plus. If they go out to Curry's and buy a PVR, they are going to be
very dissapointed when it doesn't work with your system (no DTT)
equally, if they were to manage to buy a FTA PVR (are such
available??) then they won't get C4, Five, etc, etc.

I'm not critiscising here, well I am, but it's meant to be the
constructive sort :=))
