Dear Kate,

I noticed your link while browsing the web and would like to add the following comments about the BBC digital services which I hope will be useful in your review:

- I have found additional content on BBC Three and BBC Four excellent and a clearly different and beneficial offering than their existing main channels. Extra comedy on BBC Three definitely includes programmes which would never be available other than through these new mediums.

- BBC parliament is a favourite channel during some periods of the year.

- I regularly use the bbc.co.uk website which I find to be absolutely exceptional for sports news and other content issues. The breadth of information available is quite stunning as are the regular updates.

- The digital 'teletext' service accessed by pressing the red button while viewing bbc channels is very good but could include more content. The weather feature is very useful.

- I have not been able to access the digitial radio stations apart from on my TV (it is nice they are available on Sky but pretty pointless for my use). If equipment became more standard and signals were better in my area (Woodbridge, Suffolk) then I might start listening.

- It would be good if the bbc showed sporting events they have access to on digital. For example last week the bbc had rights to the french open but showed very few of the matches.

I am a sky digital subscriber with a full package. I also listen to bbc radio 4 when driving.

Yours sincerely,

Tim Green
