I agree with you Bill. We have the same poor selection here in Brighton. For a major city to be so badly served is a pretty pathetic state of affairs given how hard the freeview option was pushed at the outset. The removal of BBC 3HD hasn't made the list look any better and then to find you have a blank HD channel (one of the two children's channels) taking up an HD space every evening is just plain annoying.

Hi Richard. By definition I guess one's home city is 'major' LOL. But we do have two universities and two hospitals.
Apart from the transmitter being, I'm told, unable to deliver the extra channels it isn't actually able to deliver SD DTV to some areas of the town because of the very hilly nature here.
So most folks pay for SKY (or at least a dish for FREESAT) or Cable. Blocks of flats in the town from my experience are either tied in to SKY or VIRGIN and once you've moved in and find your FREEVIEW doesn't work you don't have a whole lot of choice.

Oh, and before I forget, I fully believe that all TV for ALL age groups should be at the best possible quality!

I'm sorry to say that I don't understand the table here What does this mean in terms of channels available now and channels after the changes please? (Sorry for being so thick!)

I can't help feeling that we are being driven towards cable and subscription satellite and then on to internet streamed services which may actually dispense with aerials and dishes altogether but that does mean a massive investment in the infrastructure of the fibre services. But that's where we are all heading. 5 years, 10 years - not a lot longer I'd say.

Well that is a nice surprise - so for at least the duration of the Olympics I can see and hear the proms in HD sound and vision. So good news for Brighton - let's hope it stays there!
