    Come on ITV, those cue dots are ridiculous in this day and age. Surely if an operator is looking out for them, a static black and white symbol of a few pixels square would be sufficient!

    Does it really bother you that much? :confused:
    Its a tiny moving black and white thing in the top corner for the last few seconds of the programme before the break.

    I quite like the cue dots - am I alone? It gives me a head start on planning the adverts, ie put th kettle on so it is practically boiled by the time the ads come on.

    Not so much an issue with the sat/cable channels as the adverts are longer than the programs there :D

    When I was young, I always thought the cue dot was for viewers to tell them a break was coming up. It has it's purposes both behind the scenes and in people's homes.

    And how do you comment on the many live threads on DS?

    It was the very thing that DS survives on and as yet there isn't a WHATM+? thread anywhere.

    We aren't the only country that uses them either.
