Default DOGS on bbc1HD

I don't have a problem with the BBC dogs as they are not very bright. I
do have a problem with the BBC1 HD dog when it is not a HD program .
Most other channels only put a HD dog on when it is HD.

I also find the lack of local news a real pain. I would be quite happy
to have any news rather than the orange screen. I think it could be a
good point if they fed a different location news every time. I live in
bucks so we don't have local news on TV just London . it is not relevant
to us 99% of the time. News from around the country could be interesting.

I do not like the low volume sound level on BBC1HD and BBCHD, ok I have to
turn it up, but when I go back to SD it is too loud.
These are the only 2 stations this happens on out of the dozens
broadcasting.

David

Why do they need a DOG to tell you it's HD? Is it so poor that you
can't tell?

If the HD channels are DOGged then it is a good reason not to bother
with HD.

Exactly.

In the long term you will have nothing to watch. :-)

I have no control on having a dog or not but if there is one I would
prefer it was not telling lies. Not HD then no HD in dog.
Channel 4, 5, ITV, all only have a HD dog on HD stuff.

Yes I can tell if it is HD that is why I have a problem on SD stuff
labled as HD.

Unfortunately the dogs do not lie. They display the name of the channel,
not the technical details of the current programme.

All dogs tell lies.

"Has grandad fed you this morning?"
"No!"

"Have you been rolling in cow****?"
"No."
