Aljazeera is FTA and on air at IA5 ku for some time
Well, now that Aljazeera is FTA and on air at IA5 ku for some time, what do you think of their reporting so far?
Is it what you have expected, more, less?

I like the reporting and the newscasting. I haven't spent a lot of hours watching it.
I like to see better time schedules on when programs will run. When theu make an announcement or a commercial about a program, I don't see them listing when it is going to be broadcast for example using EST, or GMT, etc.

Content and presentation are pleasant change from CNN, Fox, etc. I just hope they resolve the several-frame lag of the audio; sometimes a news report looks like a kung fu movie. Anybody else notice this?

The sound is really delayed. beside that the schedule is not really that clear
they should copy Russia Today by advertising more the schedule than the channel it self. One more thing, it seems to jump broadcast too often (doha than malayasia then back Doha the London. i think each location should get a time slot
