WHAT? How does it damage your tv? Because it's a static image? Did the
test card damage your tv as well?

Perhaps by the time you finish school your teachers will have explained to
you how a TV works and you will be able to understand how it damages your
TV.

On the other hand perhaps you could perform a simple experiment. On a clear
day stare directly at the sun and then look away and tell us if you can see
anything in the middle of you field of view apart from a dark shadow. This
is exactly what happens when a DOG is displayed on you TV. The area where
the DOG is placed will be burned by the electrons just like your retina is
burned by the photons from the sun and will not function properly. If you
continue staring at the sun for longer than a split second you will be
blinded so just imagine what is happening to your TV in the area the DOG
appears all the time the TV is switched on. And just like the sun will burn
your retina so will a DOG which appears in exactly the same place on
your TV
screen all the time.

Agamemnon is an idiot! He might have a point now and again... but for
all the wrong reasons. :-(

So. Is your TV of the CRT or LCD type? Do you leave your TV tuned into a
station that uses solid DOGs for hours at a time?


CRT but I never sit for hours on end watching tv anyway. Who does,
apart from Billy No-Mates like Aggy or The Royale Family? ;-)

Mountain out of a mole hill as taught by Aggs.

As I thought. I was particularly amused by his threat not to watch
BBC3 again. As if the BBC give a toss if some nutjob stops watching,
when viewing figures are only estimated anyway.

Complaint to the BBC and to the Torchwood production team.

BBC3 has become totally unwatchable because of the hideous gigantic new
bright purple and white DOG which has been inflicted on viewers with no
consideration given whatsoever to the damage it will cause to their Plasma,
CRT's, OLED and even LCD screens because of burn in, or to their eyes for
the same reason.

I have given up complaining about DOGs, IPPs, and other graphiti on
screen. It doesn't do any good any more. "They" have decided and are
not willing to listen to viewers.

I just don't watch these channels any more because they spoil my
enjoyment of the TV programmes.

Once BBC1 starts the same, I will cancel my TV license and find
something better to do.

The problem is that despite sensible complaints that I'm sure yours
was, it's ranting nutter letters from people like Aggy that will
convince the BBC that the anti-DOGs are all loonies.

It's a *little* distracting I agree, but I don't find it spoils my
enjoyment. I hardly notice it after a while. Ignoring the DOG is just
as easy as ignoring the "on" switch or any items of furniture next to
the tv.

And give up all your DVDs as well?

Perhaps, but then again I don't think that I would buy a TV with an
"on" switch which was as big and brightly illuminated as the BBC3
DOG ... especially if it was placed in the middle of the screen g.

Sad, isn't it? By now it's an automatic presumption that anything Aggy
says which he professes to be factual is incorrect, and when you
actually look into it you find this presumption borne out close to
100% of the time. You have to put effort in to be so consistently
wrong about so many things.

You mean you don't already have better things to do than watch BBC1
(like, say, watching any other channel that isn't ITV)?

Yes, because the brightness of my TV set is exactly the same as the brightness
of the sun. Oh, wait...

Aggy is, as ever, living in a permanent state of confusion. The sun
damages the retina not because of photons entering it (which occurs
anywhere there's light), but because of the high energy of photons
arriving at one's eyes directly from the sun - as such the damage is
actually caused by heat rather than light, and images on a television
screen aren't close to being energetic enough to fry the eyes or
indeed a phosphor screen.

As for static digital images becoming permanently imprinted on
screens, this is after all the reason screensavers were invented, but
it tends to affect only primitive monitors and even those can usually
be safely left on with a test card image overnight - it is simply not
an issue for a 50-minute program, and DOGs usually disappear between
programmes and during commercials. Plasma is unaffected and it is
normally temporary in LCDs.

Interesting stuff. What's the betting Aggy responds using the words
"FOOL", "IMBECILE" and that old favourite "YOU IGNORANT" but failing
to prove his case.
