Samuiclaudia Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Hi Since the recent upgrades on UBC where all the chanels were changed, the quality of Prime TV programmes has been terrible - they sound as if they have been re-recorded about 50 times. Is anyone else having this problem or is it time for us to get a new TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuiRes Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 (edited) I presume you mean reception quality rather than content, in which case I agree with you. We frequently get stutters and pauses in sound and vision which we do not get on other channels. Doubt Prime care much but perhaps BBC might. I can feel an email coming on!

leemond Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 "My Hero" always gives me a chuckle although I would agree its hardly prime! M.O.T.D is a welcome addition on BBC. My gripe is the quality of the presentation of Premiership football on UBC with the exclusion of John Dykes who I find very professional. The "pundits" simply dont know their a r s e from their elbow(s)!. Deep breath.................and as for those c u n t s that present Nokia Football Crazy, they all simply need putting down!

The programming stinks, at least the movie channels (exluding TCM and MGM) Sent 'em an e-mail telling 'em to cancell my subsription at the end of the current billing period which has already been paid. Wrote back to me asking for a cancellation date. Replied the last day of the current billing period. lets see what happens. I think I hurt their feeling telling them that their programming sucks.

solo siam Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Totally agree in teh last 6 months the programming has gone downhill fast, Home Alone 2 and lots of Made for TV movies that I've never even heard of. I really enjoy some of the TV series like CSI Miami and some of the BBC comedy is appreciated, I would have really enjoyed "Heroes" except there is a commercial break every 5 minutes or so. Also do we need two True logos on some of the channels? Just need a competitor to show up I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just downgraded from platinum to gold because I was sick of My Family and My Hero if that is the level of intelligence in the UK now then I am so glad I moved here. The way it is going I will cut UBC off and just watch DVD's and buy decent books at leat i won't be subjected to made for tv movies and mindnumbing comedies.

Going by your original comments all you mention is rugby, cricket and football I am not someone who likes to argue just point out when i do not agree with you. Going back to the original topic I think UBC is poor value for money and if you think differently with your mate then I think you maybe in the minority!!

jasreeve17 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Southwest19 - I think that UBC is crap value for money. I really dislike the company. But, I've lived in London for thirty years loving sport at the weekend, and UBC is the best option here because they own all the sports rights and have the only real network. Sometimes, I go out and watch sport at bars, but sometimes I like to watch it at home. For example, in about ten minutes I'll sit down with my keg of Heineken, a pizza delivery menu and switch on the cable. Sometimes, if I'm lucky I'll get the South African sports channel. Fingers crossed. If I had UBC, <deleted> value as it is, I'd know that the football was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solo siam Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 It is pretty crap (UBC that is) but without any choice there's not much to do about it, I'm working on building a HTPC and storing all my movies and TV series on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mafaso Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I really enjoyed UBC when American Football was on, I got 4 or 5 games every week! That is the same I would get if I were back in the US. Very cool, plus ALL the playoff games. And all the games were shown live and then replayed later in the day with all the commercials cut out! Also, UBC is very good for Thai channels, when I DID have a girlfriend she really enjoyed it, plus many of the English channels can be switched to Thai language. Now that I have no football and no girlfriend I do not even turn it on and have not paid the bill in over 3 months. The internet is infinitely more interesting and interactive (and a hel_l of a lot cheaper) than the 1,500/m UBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
