h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm in uk sussex
terestial television as such being broadcast on vhf wave band for 30 odd years as opposed to radio on uhf.

Whilst technoligy has moved on now more digital in fact vhf transmissions i understand will soon end any how.

I live in an area that can be served by two transmiters of televison signals ,one of the transmiting digital signals one of them is not.
THE vhf band only carrys 4 channels bbc 1+2 itv (regeonal) channel 4
Most of the rest of the country can get several other station through television arial or cable.I Cant only digital sevise has to be from sky.

Hence i spend more time on computer,also have gripe with the system that states i have to not only pay six months in advance minimum for a liscence should i cancill that liscence or for example move house and not need a liscence not only does it take as long to obtain refund refunds only given from 1st day of following month.

Sorry I'm late with this reply, and thank you for that explanation.

Here both UHF and VHF are used for television and digital signals are only receivable by cable, fibreoptics, or satellite.

So in that part of Britain you have no other cable/internet solutions? I only ask because someone mentioned there was a Blueyonder alternative that allowed internet access on television.

no probs about lateness thought leave explanation here to check you where stateside or nz

no other "firbre optic" in fact i dont think any firbre optic being used in the area .some of it is in "affluent densely populated end of country.So not commercialy viable for cable companys to rewire ,captive audience for "side companies" i have a choice
lump it or leave it
satelite or 4 channels only, no big loss ,luckly enough i can get broadband internet connection so i'm happy.
if your interested on h2g2 page link to catskitten pics also has hometown link "suntrap of the south"

Thanks, I'll have a look.

I'm in Canada actually, the far end (British Columbia).
