Constant excessive intrusive video wipes on the Snooker
- - Rapid wipe transitions and frequent 1-2 sec logo bursts disrupted the broadcast, causing disorientation and nausea, so I stopped watching.
I was looking forward to watching the masters snooker final on Channel 5 today, but the broadcast was ruined for me. The programme used extremely rapid wipe transitions and repeated 1 to 2 second bursts of moving visual effects (channel 5 logo) throughout the broadcast.
The editing became disorientating and caused nausea/visual discomfort to the point I had to stop watching.
Given the Channel number 5 is displayed constantly on the top left of the TV screen we hardly need to have a full screen number 5 flashed up rolling over in our eyes twice in 2 second bursts, dozens of times in every snooker frame.
They even managed to block out one of the aerial view replays with one. Well done channel 5 for stopping me watching the final.
User's recommendation: These screen wipes are bad enough on the Beeb but this takes it to another level

Verified ReviewerWould be very watchable
- - Wants follow-up interviews with participants from crime shows like Traffic Cops to learn how their lives turned out and their reactions.
good morning, not a problem but a inquiry.
i love watching programs like traffic cops, police interceptors but i am always left wondering what the people who at the time were on the wrong side of the law doing now. the shows are 5, 10 even 12 years old, it would make great tv if the people who stared in the originals were to be interviewed if they consented and to allow the public to see how their life worked out.
also would love to know their reactions, feelings when they view their original filming. so many questions left unanswered, did they change their habits, did they learn from their behavior, family, job or stay in life of crime? are they embarrassed when watching how they behaved, reacted when confronted by the police?
personally i think the police do a wonderful but thankless job, what would society be like if people could do what ever they felt like?
has this type of program ever been considered? for me it would be brilliant tv.
hope to see a making like this one day.

Was advised that there was inquiries into solar panel scams
- - -Titan Solar salesman promised a tax credit and roof trimming; neither was done, payments continued until service was disconnected; arbitration filed.
I feel that I have been scammed by a solar power company.I was advised by a salesman representing Titan Solar that I would get a tax credit to use for.any reason and they would trim the tree.branches that shaded the roof as I explained to him I did not want panels without this being don. He assured me that they would take care of the trimming of the limbs quoted s price for this and based my monthly payments including this which I was paying for.
After this was not done I could not get a response from him or the company for months. I stopped making payments to good leap the financier fir this reason, they advised Titan and I sent a letter also advising they were disconnecting the solar service as they have done. The went and filed motion for arbitration and then did not show up.
There is so much more to the story. I am about to turn 86 next week if the stress don't kill me first.
User's recommendation: Never use this company and any that you use have an attorney look at the contract. I had a DVAP ATTORNEY WHO TOOK THE CASE OUT OF SMALL.CLAIMS FILED IN CIVIL COURT AND THEN ADVISED SHE COULF'NT REPRESENT DUE TO CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

Verified ReviewerNo subtitles on My5 Suspects series
- - Subtitles missing for Suspects prevent viewing by a hard-of-hearing user.
- - It was described as a technical problem in 2024.
Lack of subtitles on Suspects means we are unable to watch due to my husband being hard of hearing. We have not encountered this problem with any other channel . Told it was a technical problem but not happy with this lack of accessibility in 2024 !
User's recommendation: Give My5 a miss.

Verified ReviewerSnooker coverage interrupted for adverts
- - Advert breaks interrupted a crucial snooker moment.
- - The coverage is diabolical.
- - Adverts do not finish on time for a new frame.
Hi there, I am currently watching the Snooker World Senior Championship. I am appalled that during a crucial moment of the snooker frame, it was interrupted for an advert break.
Your coverage of snooker is diabolical, and I hope that your channel never has coverage of snooker again because for this to happen is disgusting.
Every other channel that shows snooker has the adverts during a break, but you can't even finish the adverts on time for the start of a new frame. This is an issue that needs to be resolved!
Preferred solution: No adverts at crucial points of sporting events

I was filmed as a major part of the programme and I was assured that I would be contacted before my episodes were shown. I see that a new series has started so I am wondering when it will be screened. It was filmed along with Bridges Bar on Mijas Costa last Autumn.

No sound on 5 star or any of your other stations which is very annoying and its programs I've been looking forward to

User's recommendation: No he’ll no
There is no more pointless waste of time than the BBB. They are not the Consumer Police or the Protector of the People.
They are a private organization composed of paying members. It is not funded by government or any other such public affiliation. Businesses pay fees to 'belong' and get that little sticker for the cash register. Somehow they have achieved a mythical status of being consumer heroes ; it is simply not so.
Maybe it's the "Bureau" part that confuses people. Save your breath where they are concerned.
