TBH mate i've only got Digital TV because it was part of the service, and i thought "why not". It's a rented flat, and a big old sandstone thing, so i wouldn't want to stick a sky dish on the side of it, and i'm fairly sure the landlord wouldn't allow it.

Personally, i rarely watch anything except BBC1,2,3 and channel 4. All channels i receive through freeview, and with better picture quality than NTL offers. Whether that's a decoding hardware problem or not, i don't know, but i'm beginning to meander.

Basically, i don't want a dish, and neither would my landlord.

When they ask why and if you'd reconsider, say "Well unless you get a SENIOR ENGINEER out here who can make my setup WORK RELIABLY, then no, I'll get my services from Sky and BT"

This, I have found, works wonders.
I've got another engineer appointment for tomorrow afternoon, so i'll see how that goes. The thing that ****es me off the most is all the different stuff i've been told. Some people have said they haven't been able to see a problem with my line. Some say the power levels are borderline. Some say they tweaked something and it might be better now... I've been told there are local problems they're aware of and are getting fixed, but nobody else has been able to confirm it.

One straight answer as to what's going on would be great. If they don't know what's wrong, why not just admit it?
