Channel 4 have put out an online survey for anyone who uses Channel 4+ in the UK.

I wonder what this is about as I think these improvements will probably apply to people who live in the UK only.

That's code for "we're going to make a lot of changes but first we'll harvest some opinions,highlight those that match with our changes, ignore the rest, make the changes and then say this is what you wanted."

Personally, in today's climate, I think this might be a smart move for Channel 4 launching FAST channels on international markets, because looking at the UK output at the moment, I can't see 4seven have a future, particularly with their digital first strategy.
