and what at the above?
You can't receive Channel 5 unless you live in London. If you don't live in London you need Sky to receive it because they have such a poor signal... I think.Quote:

License fees only go to BBC.
I don't get your point, are you annoyed they aren't showing news and weather or what? Explain...
Incorrect. It simply has poorer reception in more remote areas of the UK and has no where near as many masts as the other channels.Quote:

Who watches Channel 5 anyway? :P
5 sucks
Well you need Sky to get it in Manchester.
Quiz shows - It's terrible that they're just taking money like this.Quote:

Not really they're a business at the end of the day and clearly if it didn't make them so much profit, they wouldn't do it.Quote:

To have these movies, football matches on, it costs money so they get their extra income from adverts. Maybe they charge less for adverts so they can get the extra income needed.Quote:

Five is currently available on both analogue and digital. However by 2012 in a plan outlined by the government analogue transmitters across the UK will be turned off forever ITV region by ITV region. We would therefore advise you if you haven't got digital already to start considering your options. Full information can be found on the Digital UK website at www.digitaluk.co.uk
I live in southern manchster and I get it okay. Not that I actually watch it. Endless hours of CSI.Quote:

Yes, every channel will be going digital by 2012, you will need a set-top box or Sky box for every channel. What on earth are you on about :S They will still be available on Freeview. No channel will be available on your TV's standard analogue 1-5... "/
I live in cheshire too, and ive never spoken to anyone who recieves a good channel 5 signal without sky.
Lol how many times have you ventured outside of London, thats probably the most ridiculous thing Ive heard in ages. A highend tv channel not having the range to reach the entire country? And they are a business, of course they have to charge larger amounts than the other mainstream channels considering they did introduce their channel later on than the rest.Quote:

I've not read the whole thread because Minstrels was chatting so much, but all the 5 main channels get a share of the TV license, but BBC get most. They're all Public Service Broadcasters, and they all have a purpose which they need to fulfil, which they have been given by Ofcom.
But, of course, they are all businesses, so they need to show adverts to make profit, and to get money to invest in new programmes.
nOOOOOOO THEY'RE TAKING UR MONEY
LITERALLY WALKING INTO UR HOUSE
POICKING UP UR WALLET
AND TAKING OUT UR MONEY
Look you poor freak, in both the pitiful sense and the financial sense: Shut up.
Wrong!! Only the BBC get it, it's a well known fact that only the BBC get it, that's why BBC don't have ads!Quote:

I get channel 5 fine through an analogue ariel :S and also, as stated it is ONLY the BBC that gets money from TV Liscences, what I don't agree with is the fact of why we should pay for a TV Liscence if we dont want to watch the BBC channels. Thats clean off.
Also at calon, why do you care if they show quiz shows etc? Im sure if you had a TV station and you needed money you would do the same thing.
I live here and I get it ok on analogue. Admittedly it rarely works on digital, but I don't really care.Quote:

Someone who said that Five carries more adverts is misinformed, because there are laws on how many adverts a channel can carry in an hour. Because it gets less viewers, more money is needed to fund it, and that's why Quiz Call is aired.Quote:
