BBC HD - Campaign to Improve Picture Quality

Given the problems the world and UK has at the moment, petitioning the UK Prime Minister to request the BBC improves the picture quality (PQ) of its High Definition channel - BBC HD - ought to rank as a fairly low priority.

But that's what I found myself doing this week, creating an e-petition on the Official Site of the Prime Minister's Office. You can sign this at http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/BBCHDPQ/

Though it ought to be unimportant in the vast scheme of things, it is however interesting to note that over 500 people had taken the trouble to sign the petition in the first day - making it already the 3rd most signed petition in its category of "Information and Communications", moving it into the top 200 of all petitions, and the most signed of recent new petitions.

Clearly then I am not alone in noticing the degredation in the BBC HD PQ.
