    OTOH, I love your humour too - quoting The Gaurdain to back up what you say is equally risible. :shocked:
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.

    I thought it humorous in that the BBC PR people can't say their bible (The Guardian) is wrong, even you have side stepped it now ;)

    The point is the BBC shouldn't push lies to try justifying the BBC TV Licence

    Clearly the BBC has been giving you the wrong information because the BBC TV Licence has nothing to do with the infrastructure. By asking you to push false information on the public they are hurting themselves.

    Every thing I posted was correct and everything you posted was wrong.

    Neither SDN nor Crown Castle own any transmitters in the UK.

    Your facts are incorrect and the link you posted shows you do not have an understanding and are in fact unwise of the industry.
    As that links clearly shows that SDN runs CHANNELS not transmitters.

    There you go readers, the BBC clique are now saying the media are wrong and they are right. The fact I provided proof and they can't doesn't seem to matter to these 'people' and look how they Thank each other for the lies pushed :rotfl:

    You have to wonder how low the BBC can go with these obvious lies.

    I'll ask them for a second time to back up their claims, please take note they will ignore this because they can't ;)

    Yes, Channel 5 pays SDN to broadcast on their transmitter. As I've said this is nothing to do with your BBC. I get the feeling you are just baiting so you can get a reaction, I hope others report you for this obvious ploy!.

    Here's more proof from me that the transmitters are privately owned and nothing to do with their beloved BBC

    What a misnomer TheWise1 is.

    Can you list the transmitters that Crown Castle are responsible for?

    No?

    That will because they aren't responsible for any

    Instead of just spamming with unconstructive posts one after the other why not just ask the question. If you google you can see what stations are on each transmitter and you'll notice the BBC TV Licence doesn't own any of them, this was the argument the BBC PR people lost here..............remember?

    PS readers noticed how they ignored my question again ;)

    LMFOA every post you make shows your lack of knowledge, that piece was nearly 10 years old, and as I said Crown Castle haven't worked here in donkeys years.

    SDN never have and do not now own or run transmitters, you have too much opinion and too little actual knowledge.

    If people are happy to pay the BBC Licence Fee because they watch live TV, then great. Happy viewing.

    If people are not happy to pay the BBC Licence Fee because they don't watch live TV, then great. Happy viewing.

    This forum is all about people helping other people to save money and offer help and advice where needed. What it is not is a political or ideological medium for bashing any particular service with. And nor should it ever be either.
