I applaud Payviewer for highlighting the appalling television service we get from Wyke Regis.

When terrestrial television went digital in Weymouth we were only able to receive many fewer channels that were available from a main transmitter.

One channel we did get was ITV3; but not for long. It was taken off, as I understand it in order to free up bandwidth for high definition (HD) services. I can’t speak for all of course but I suspect that most of Weymouth would rather have more channels than HD.

Whoever is responsible for the Wyke Regis transmitter is a smart cookie. Why? Because we can receive all the BBC channels, ie: those we pay for with our licences, so we can only bleat – and they know it.
