Why does Mosaic repeat so many programmes?
Having had Mosaic for 7 months now I have seen every single programme shown on National Geographic and the Science and History channels. Qtel rotate the programmes endlessly, and are now re-repeating repeats of repeats of repeats etc etc.
Their selection of BBC and Granada programmes is abysmal - old soaps that are repeated over and over, and the same programme schedule (eg Weakest Link and Casualty / Holby City) every day.
I have not managed to find a single new programme - ever.
I tried getting info from Qtel, by phone, and was told it was nothing to do with Qtel, it was down to the channels themselves. I find this impossible to believe as their websites show totally different schedules to Qtel's. Qtel have not responded to my email asking why they have such appalling programming.
I can not find a name, or postal address, to write to directly. If you can help please let me know.
Meantime, I would strongly advise any expats (especially Brits) NOT to take Mosaic, it is dreadful value for money. When my current contract ends I shall be going for Showtime TV.
It is the channels themselves that are constantly repeating. Whether you are here, Hong Kong or Chile, you will always find the same with these channels. You are better connecting via a dish and receiver to scramble channels via cards. Best alternative if you still have a place in UK is to use slingbox.
that's what you get for a cheap channel package. it's either u deal with it or u can just throw the mozaic receiver away
