New BBC channels on Canal Digital
| December 4th, 2008I was looking forward to seeing the new BBC channels that Canal Digital started to beam yesterday. Granted, not alot of new content there, but still, more quality broadcasting is always welcome. More than enough crap being aired these days.
The channels are BBC Lifestyle, Knowledge, Entertainment & HD, yay!? well.. after tuning in last night, not so much. I dont have a HD tuner/receiver, so that channel is out of my reach atm, but the other three, well, take a wild guess what format they are aired in.. Thats right 4:3, completely disregard the original format, its actually aired in full screen. I could hardly believe my eyes..
Watching season 9 of Top Gear in a crippled 4:3 format is just too painful for my taste..
I hope this is just a “minor” premiere hick-up, but I fear it aint. For the person(s) making this decision I grant a well placed foot in their ass as a xmas present. Hohoho
