Really? If I noticed a big 'BBC3' 'burn' mark on my lovely new
Plasma screen (if I had one), the first thing I'd think of would be
to complain to the channel involved.

You expect the service provider to be responsible for how you use your
poor choice of display - given other types don't burn, or at least
not to the same extent? Would you also complain to them about other
specific plasma faults?

I'm unlikely to buy a plasma screen anyway so this is all pretty accademic,
but no, I wouldn't complain to the TV channel about other faults with my
tele. (obvioulsy). However, if watching a TV channel (in accordance with the
TV manufacturers guidelines) damaged my screen then yes, I would hold
them(the TV company) responsible.

So the channels themselves recommend you don't watch them??

You only need to watch the commercials, and they do not have a
DOG plastered over them.

Five have had a logo for quite a few months now. They've just changed to a
different style.

It's even more intrusive than before IMHO. Maybe the "old" DOG has
not attracted back viewers as expected ;-)

Given just about every channel in every country uses dogs I doubt the TV
maker is going to admit to a problem with them.

I also hate the channel displays over the screen, it means people can't use
a plasma TV without
causing damage.

Bah! Please don't spew random misinformation and prejudices.
I am sorry you didn't research the subject correctly when buying your TV
but there's no need to misinform other peoples.

Fortunately I use LCD but already know which channel I am
watching when I select it.

There's various reasons to buy a LCD or a Plasma, screen burn fro a
standard channel DOG (especially a relatively pale one like the new 5
DOG) is NOT one of them.

I'd rather have my testicles placed in a closing vice that watch a TV
channel with DOG **** on it.

Probably not, but (for the sake of argument) imagine you noticed a faint
'BBC3' logo permanently in the corner of your TV, even when it was switched
off. What would you do about it?
Forget responses like 'I don't watch channels with DOGs', or 'I never watch
the BBC because it's all crap', just interested 'in principle' with what
you'd do...?

Well I'd get £250 if I posted it to "You've been framed". ;-)
