For some unknown reason, despite living in the commuter belt of London reception of most recievers (tv, radio, mobile phones) is pretty poor. And digital is worse.
Last week we had a tv arial guy come round to fix an arial that would do NASA proud to the roof of the house. What this means is that for the first time since we moved here (bout twelve years ago) BBC 1&2, ITV and C4 have clear reception and aren't fuzzy. What's more, we now have a watchable channel five!! What this means is that I can now watch NHL ice hockey. Just in time for the season to end.
Now ice hockey is one of my sporting passions. I got into it while working in my local. I'd be getting home late and it'd be the ony thing worth watching at that time. I say watch, the screen was so fuzzy that I couldn't actually watch the game, but I'd listen to the commentry.
But now, once the season restarts, I can watch it again!!!
Not only have we got channel five we have even found some digital channels on Freeview!! They can be a bit scratchy but it did mean I was able to watch Dr Who Confidential after the destruction of Pompei was casued by The Doctor. I was also able to watch 'Gavin and Stacey' last night and plan on watching Family Guy' tonight.... I love BBC3.
Alas, DAB digital radio still sucks and does mobile phone reception.
