DOGs

You're all probably more observant than me but I've just noticed the
following:

- On programmes, which I'm watching because I want to, there is an annoying
DOG. The broadcasters tell me that is because I'm too thick to remember
which channel for more than 5s, despite the face that if I'm watching NCIS
(say), I must be on Five (or FiveUS perhaps?).

- An adverts, where I find the same adverts appear on lots of different
channels and thus you can't tell one channel from the next, there are no
DOGs.

I suppose it's a straight case of "money talks" or "I've paid you a fortune
to put my corporate Logo on your channel - obscure it and die!

Am I the only person in this group that doesn't think the world has
come to an end if they see a DOG on the screen? I caught up on last
weeks NCIS this morning and didn't notice the DOG once.

Any CATS?

Funnily enough, the first UK broadcaster to use a full scale automated playout
system was Channel 4 back in 1982. The system automatically rolled the VTs and
put up captions etc, and was called 'CATS' :-)

Nor I. And there is nothing I miss or can't source via DVD / DVD rip.

I actually deleted Channel 5 from my EPG since its DOG **** returned.

That's called "cutting your nose off to spite your face" and won't help in
getting them removed.

Or FX (Sky 165) - which is the channel that gets the series first, then it
moves onto 5.

Probably true but with the ridiculously intrusive DOGs on ITV2-4 I'm
inclined to follow suit for them.
