Dear Editor,

I am a subscriber to Direct TV, and have been so for approximately one year. I am sure that I am not the only frustrated subscriber, since I have spoken to many of my friends who feel the same way as I do.

The problem I have with the service offered, is that it is in Spanish and I live in an English speaking country. All you get are reruns from two or three years ago. You also see the same programmes from morning to night, repeated again and again. The only channels that are in English are News and Sports.

Why is Guyana the only country that does not have proper cable companies. I am only aware of one company, which unfortunately is only allowed to transmit to a certain area on the East Bank of Demerara.

Yours faithfully,

Frustrated Subscriber
