On Digital [TV Advertisement]

...purchased an idtv, I rang On Digital to activate my account. When I spoke to the adviser I said I had no picture and a little red square on the screen. I was advised that I had a low signal strength and was informed that I should purchase a set top aerial and point it towards my nearest transmitter. After 8 or 9 set top aerials and signal boosters I phoned On Digital again. This time I was informed that a set top aerial was of no use whatsoever. ...
...that half of the chaneels on my list had never been heard of and would I mind giving them a list so that they could figure out what they were. I now have to wait until I can afford to upgrade the aerial out of my own pocket before I can enjoy the benefits of my nice new idtv. ...

Review of On Digital [TV Advertisement]

...didn't want a satellite dish on the house, so ONdigital seemed to be the natural choice. After signing up with a local retailer I took my box home, and within 30 minutes I was digital! The instructions are fool proof, in other words, I could do it myself! And you save the £40-£100 installation charge that Sky make. Subsription information... All the free channels (ie: BBC1, BBC2 BBC Choice, BBC Knowledge, ITV, ITV2, Channel 4, Channel 5 etc.) ...
...while reading the text pages. On BBC Text for example, you can switch between various BBC Digital channels while viewing teletext. Digital subtitles have been designed to be as clear as possible, with the help of the RNIB. 2. ONmail - a remote control which opens up to reveal a keypad inside. You can write emails while watching TV (on SKY you have to go a different channel). 3. ONnet - you can surf the internet on the TV. This really works. Again, ...

Review of On Digital [TV Advertisement]

On digital must be the worst digital providers ever. Everyone i know that has on digital has had to have there aerial upgrade which is a criminal £40 and still had lot's of problem's after that. I have had them for almost a year now and when the contract run's out i shall be getting cable and wireless who don't cheat you out of money. The actual channel's you get are generally poor with channel's like Shop!, Carlton Food Network, UK Living and there ...
...do have some good thing's on it on games 1 and 2 are highly enjoyable but take to long to load up it also has on sport 1 and 2 which show champ's league games on when ITV don't do them and the box was free. As for the price you pay a month (£14) is really quite a lot seen as how you don't get any real channel's. I warn all you people out there who are considering getting digital please get Sky, NTL or Cable and Wireless !!!! ...

Review of On Digital [TV Advertisement]

I bought the on digital pre-paid package through qxl.com about 10 months ago when they sold the off cheap - up until the england pay per view match I was very satisfied with it apart from the annoying "squares" when the signal dips occasiaonly , the england programme was a complete farce with us missing the 1st half an hour and spending god knows how much time in a queue before their telephone system cut me off . Since then , I have called them several ...

...little squares with no sound on the tv. I contacted on digital and was told i may need an ariel upgrade fo £40. I said that i was not paying for it as it was absolutely stupid - not the price of the installation of an upgrade but the fact that I Live within five miles of the transmitter! If digital signals cannot go 5 miles from the place of broadcast i really cant see the point in leaving analogue! Anyone that is thinking of getting digital i would ...

...i have covered the basic On digital package but one more thing about the channels ON digital has a very good pay per view movie range called ON request it has up to date films on every month and its cheap too at only £2.99 a film!

Review of On Digital [TV Advertisement]

...get across the message that On Digital is now ITV Digital and that they offer a good service. The advert uses two characters, a man and a monkey. The man is supposed to represent the viewers and hopefully the future customers of ITV Digital and the monkey represents the brain that the man lacks. From the start of the advert through to the end the viewer is constantly insulted as being mindless. The man is purveyed as a couch potato, which obviously ...
...snide comments about the man watching the ITV Digital being a simpleton! I would never consider having ITV digital when they view their customers as idiots. Having a relative (whom I visit often) who has ITV Digital, I know that they seriously believe their customers are idiots as my relative as problem after problem with their service and they just don't care. The advert does anything but promote a good service from ITV Digital, they let you know ...

Review of On Digital [TV Advertisement]

...there was an offer of On Digital built in and there was 6 months free subscription. Rather please with this idea, I followed the instruction and called the On Digital help line before I purchased. They checked my postcode and said that I could receive so I was all set. The TV arrived and I was more than a little excited, sad I know. The man installed it and what did I get, a little red dot! That showed that my signal was too weak so I would have ...
...help desk ommited to mention. I called an aeriall firm, a reputable one at that. They came and spent an hour crawling over my roof trying to get a signal. They found a very weak one and decided that if they highered it up the signal would be strong enough. That then posed the second problem or getting permission from who ever is responsible for aeroplanes flying over that might hit it. My advice, GET SKY! ...

Review of On Digital [TV Advertisement]

I bought an OnDigital pre-paid box from an online site. I had thought it was an excellent deal,and was really pleased with the savings I had made. However, after setting up the box, I could receive only three channels. The problem arose because of Thurrock being a bad place for OnDigital reception according to my neighbours who have had similar problems. (Despity OnDigital assuring me there would be no problems). I also had a shared arial which was ...
...reception for two terrestrial channels.I was having to watch Channel 5 through an indoor ariel! I returned the box and got my money back, but three months late OnDigital are asking me for my returns receipt - something I can't find. So now I am facing this argument with them, as they can, apparantly charge me. Despite the fact that I have returned the box and had a refund!!!! Madness. ...
