My System: Various digiboxes, broken Nokia 9800S, numerous analogue boxes. My lovely little lappy, HP Omnibook 6100

More than half of British households are equipped with multichannel television.

yes but what about the rest of the equipment in the house?

Take my house as an example. I have a dodgybox with solus card so am technically a digital household. But I also have an analogue VCR (less than a year old) on the same TV, which is itself only a month or so old and without an ID tuner so is analogue only.

Then we have a television and VCR in the breakfast room and each of the 2 kids bedrooms. Our bedroom and the garden shed (!) have analogue TVs.

This means that there are 9 further analogue devices that will become useless when the analogue signals are switched off.

My advice is to answer NO to any poll that asks if you have Digital TV in your household. It's to your advantage to have dual broadcasting for as long as possible.

Unless they are offering free replacement for all the analogue devices of course. Hmmmm, now how likely is that?
