Dear Mr Barwise,

My main concerns relate the following  items.

1)  Poor reception in adverse weather conditions.

      My own installation has a very high gain arial, which due to local 
topography has had to be directed to a repeat transmitter which is quite 
distant to my location.  Under ideal weather conditions there are some 
slight reception problems, but as soon as it starts to snow or rain heavilly 
the reception fails totally.  Under the same conditions the normal UHF 
signal is not effected.

2)  Channel 5 reception.

    Channel 5 has recently begun to scramble some programs, this creates a 
problem as nearly all new free to air boxes do not include the facility of a 
card slot. So if the normal UHF signal is stopped many viewers would lose 
the channel 5.

3)   Poor programming by the BBC

     Since the onset of digital broadcasting by the BBC the corporation is 
now showing a huge number of repeat programs.  In my humble opinion it would 
serve the licence payers better to look back twenty years at the programs it 
was then producing, which now form the backbone of much of the commercial 
channels output. Do not sell the programs use them.

I hope these comments may be of some assistance to you.

Yours faithfully

Tony Barnett
