Sound Dips

[Mike]

I know this is said quite alot but the sound dips on E4 really annoy me, they cut off at every entertaining debate/argument for example it just kicked off between Roberto and Science and they decided to turn the sound off.

[playingthevillain]

Yeah i know, its really p*****g me off! Thank god for having Big Brother on Channel 4 with nothing spared.

Still, at least we don't have those irritating text messages running across the bottom of the screen this year! :thumbs:

[Razmataz]

i'm enjoying the Internet feed! Only becuase of the fact that my TV is in the other room and when I run to see whats happening I miss it all! Also, It's good for pics for the site LOL! :rolleyes:

BUT, I hate sound dips! That plane NEVER lands!

[Razmataz]

yea there were positives like no adverts but i jus though all the best bits will be on the higlights show so from Ryan xmwahx

[huckool]

They should make the sound dips a little shorter. I don't think 5 seconds before and after a swear is that necessary...

[Razmataz]

They should have an option for u to listen to uncut big bro live if ya put a passkey in from Ryan xmwahx

[Nightfox]

Does anyone know why this happens??? It's always when an interesting conversation begins ; and another thing that bugs me is when something cool or funny's happening and the screen flicks to a less interesting grouping or sometimes the diary room door (and sod-all else....WTF?).:mad:

I thought it was so that channel 4 can't get sued , y'know like if the housemates are cussing a celeb or something , but it seems to happen just to irritate us nowadays.:mad:

Also , why the frigging hell don't they change the sounds...
They've been using that same plane landing and the goddamn cuckoo for the last 6 years .... ARRGH!!!:mad:

[BigSister]

It something about privacy to celebs, swearing and privacy to their own familes and friends hence the uncle bob ad

That blows ....
Some of the most interesting converstaions are about celebs and friends .
It's unfair , celebs want to be famous.... why should they be entitled to any privacy when they go out of their way to exploit themselves :conf:

[BigSister]

its always the same on E4 though ever since BB3/BB2

[Azzy]

Unfortunately I don't have E4 .
I hate it how channel 4 advertizes all the best shows only then to reveal they are on E4 only .

It's like the Diary Room Uncut , we mere mortals only get to watch this in the early hours (luckily I work afternoons so I can stay up , but there's such crap on in the evenings it makes me wonder why they don't just axe a few of the less popular shows *COUGH*-richardand judy-*Cough*).

[fluffysquirrels]

Go out and get a freeview top box, E4 is now free on it!! YOu can pick one up for around £30....stop complaining!

What other channels do you get on it???

[fluffysquirrels]

Ummm...quite a few to be honest, all the digital channels like BBC1,2,3,4. ITV1,2,3 Channel 4, E4 and E4 +1, then a couple of decent music channels calle The Hits and TMF, Men and Motors, FTN, there's a few others that are free like the ones mentioned including News and Sports as well as loads of Radio channels. Then if you want to, you can upgrade for £7.99 (approx) a month to get extra channels like Cartoon Network, Living channels and Discovery Channels.

But for a one off fee of £30, it's a bloody bargain, plus i don't watch that much tele anyway, whats the point in paying through the roof in excess of £30 a month on something like Sky when i only spend 4-5 hours a day watching tele. New Freeview channels areconstantly being added at no extra cost, so get in with it while you can! It's like last week, we got E4 and E4 +1 for nothing!

[fluffysquirrels]

The only channel it doens't have which i truly wish it did, is Sky One!! Grrrrr

[Azzy]

Cartoon Network cool ..... I could watch the Star Wars: Clone Wars cartoons . Strongly considering buying Freeview now .:spin2:

[fluffysquirrels]

Go for it, i only bought it as my mum has it, mocked her as it was a cheap chocie for tele, but you do get a lot for your money! And it's just a one off payment when you buy it, mine was only £30. That was it! Plug your aerial into it and voila, get all ya channells, plus you get 24 hour coverage of Big Bro, E4 has loads of other programmes on it as well, but if you don't feel like watching friends or The OC, press ya red button and it switches over to live coverage of big bro....my social life is seriously about to go down the plughole.....can you tell?? Was up until 1AM watching it the other night when it was Mary's b'day....how sad??

Thats not sad at all , I often stay up till about 4am when the live coverage on C4 finishes , and even then I sometimes watched Punk'd .

So what does this freeview come as , like a box like Sky with a remote?
And do you need a SCART socket for it???

[fluffysquirrels]

You can use Scart or just the standard conection leads, it's similar to Sky, but there are more makes for it, i've got a cheap Matsui make, the boxes tend to be smaller than Sky ones, as are the remotes, so they look funkier.

[Razmataz]

lol kwl and im listening to a 3 minute sound dip here now its disgraceful
