Digital TV Leads to Higher Satisfaction

from the digital-era-for-couch-potatoes dept

A survey released recently has broken down the experiences of digital TV users in the UK, highlighting the good and bad aspects of digital services. One of the surprising aspects of the article is that it indicates the end of printed television guides may soon be arriving due to digital TV programming guides. If I only had a dollar for the amount of times that this prediction has been made about print media; I'd be a very rich guy.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    UK Digital

    The on-screen info pages will only really be useful when they are in fact accurate! Eurosport, for example, is often showing different programs to the ones indicated in the on-screen info. The service needs to be much more dynamic - why doesn't the info for MTV tell you the name of the track that is currently playing for instance?

    Actually, it might happen

    Most people I know who have digital TV never look at paper based listings any more. There really is no need. And then, of course, there's the example of myself: I don't have digital cable, but I never use paper listings to figure out what's on TV. Why do that when you have Yahoo TV?
