Well of course it is Ben, it’s the same with Foxtel. Save for the sport there isn’t anything particularly on worth watching. Channel Ten have created an entire channel around sport. Id’ rather stick my eyes out with a bodkin than watch garbage like the latest tidddlywinks championships from Peoria.

Why are we switching to digital? Is it because they need the spectrum for something else? It probably sound s like a very stupid question I know but I just don’t know why the change is necessary.

Viocorp mate…what happened to your white balance on the wide shots? we have a problem. your mid/close-ups are white balanced beautifully….but what happened to the wides…and the exposure too? The wide looks a little over exposed. I think I’d be making sure of the technical quality before promoting your work…

The friendly paperclip? Lets not forget that annoying dog…
YouTube is not the answer, it might have been for John Howards’ resignation speech but not for a complete overhaul of the Australian broadcasting protocol – change it, and fast before thousands of homes are left wondering what on earth happened to their tele’s

this is an appalling waste of government communications money. how does mia garlick justify this sort of waste? there are other government departments with their own you tube channels…can i suggest someone tell this broadband department to have a look at how it is done? this is a disgrace.

At least the governments ad for Digital TV is actually vaguely interesting unlike that piece of arse from the Freeview people. It’s like they are actively trying to derail Digital TV rather than attempting to inspire me to get it.

The video with Andy is putting me to sleep.

Who is advising Andy Townend? That would have to be the most boring presentation I’ve ever seen! Surely in a government department that includes ‘Communications’ in its title can at least afford to employ a few people who can give him some advice about how to make an interesting an engaging presentation? Who exactly is his target audience here? People who want some boring information to send them asleep? I couldn’t finish watching it – even though I was interested – it was just too boring.

What if Analogue tv had “an annoying popup” like a certain friendly paperclip? just to push the point along?
