Recycled cable television

Norma Mallia, Swieqi

Carmen Aquilina is not the only one who feels that we, the subscribers of Melita Cable, are getting a very raw deal from the company (Getting Less Instead Of More From Melita, October 20).

I totally agree with her. Why should we pay for the packages the relaying companies dish out? Most of the channels put out old programmes or repeat after repeat of first and second series. What happens to the third and fourth series? We never seem to get them!

We have lost the Manchester United channel and now they have taken away the Chelsea channel too, and throughout the summer months we were getting repeats of old Premier League games. To say we are getting a raw deal is putting it mildly. I feel we are being ripped off.

Invest in a satellite dish.. good new films and above all FREE.

A few days ago, I called Melita because the Movie Channel and Melita More are not up to standard and not worth the money spent. The lady at the other end of the line asked me why and I listed all the things I do not like about the service. She had the cheek to tell me that I am the first one to complain! I told her to read the letters in local newspapers about the bad and extremely expensive service by Melita.

Solution: Stop glorifying English premiership teams and get out and support your own local team.

I admit you wont see the customary United dodgy penalty, the Ronaldo diving contest and yes you will be left in suspence as to who John Terry will poleaxe next while the referee isnt looking....but who knows you may actually see some football!

I still wonder why melita has so many subscribers! If I do not like the service or in this case the channels shown, then I change supplier....where's the problem? You can also go for a satellite as Mr Stivala suggested.

Have you complained with Melta? Did they ignore you? If so why are you still subscribed?

Totally agree, we are totally being taken for granted,
I am one of their very first customers and have recently
moved the telephony and internet with Melita,
however at the moment I am studing other options
