TV viewers complain about blank screens

Television viewers were complaining they were still without two major channels yesterday days after being told normal service would be resumed.People without CableVision said ZBM channel 7 and ZFB channel 9 remained down, following damage from lightning before Christmas.Rose Trott, from St David’s, said she only had one channel left, asking The Royal Gazette: “How much longer do we have to wait?”Ms Trott said she had missed all her favourite shows during the week, including ‘The Young And The Restless’ and ZBM news, which she said was better than VSB; while her son had missed his cartoons at the weekend.Another viewer, from Pembroke, said: “We’ve had only VSB for several weeks and we keep losing the signal with that. Even when it’s working the VSB picture has not been that great.“It’s annoying to miss so many of our favourite programmes on ZBM and ZFB especially ‘Desperate Housewives’ on Sunday night.”Bermuda Broadcasting Company CEO Rick Richardson, who had said he hoped to have channel 9 up and running last Wednesday, could not be reached yesterday.
