This is just "pants". I flicked over to "Battlefield Earth" on ITV4 last
night and even on a 28inch set, it was completely unwatchable. The
slightest "action" and the screen disintegrated into an array of coloured
squares.

Can we get some of the people in charge of Freeview and force them to watch
this crap for an evening?

Agreed. I think it was only made to please the Scientologists.

I thought this post was going to be about a mail performance enhancing pill.

You mean there's a way I can get my post-person to deliver before 3pm?

Are you suggesting the scientologists are all blind?

that's what you get for watching such crap - you'd have been luckier if you
couldn't see it at all.

I sort of realised that people would choose to comment on the program rather
than the medium.

For those who care, I was channel surfing and found myself mesmerized by the
sheer poor quality of the media. As I reached this channel, I thought my
PVR had gone wrong because it was all yellow/brown boxes but as I watched
for a couple of minutes, I realised that it was simply the incredibly poor
bitrate and that as soon as anything moved, back they came.

Well something's got to improve the time it takes to send a letter
somewhere.

Now where did I leave my coat?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Paul D.Smith"
saying something like:

This is just "pants". I flicked over to "Battlefield Earth" on ITV4 last

Trust me, you didn't miss much.
