OK ... moving on to the next "How's It Done"? ... how about Digital TV?
Not having owned a television set for well over twenty years, I admit to being somewhat "behind the curve" when it comes to TV (and
terrestrial TV, especially).
However, following the recent "digital switchover" (analogue switch-off) I was obliged to get a TV set going in a caravan I was selling. Luckily, I found a
Freeview box in a skip, and (once I had dried it out, bought a SCART cable, and let the thing re-tune itself) was then able to have a go.
And what did I find? How about:-
1) Sound and vision losing sync
2) Squawking, pixellation and freezing
3) Signal dropping out
OK, that was right up on the Yorkshire coast (and perhaps not in the best of signal areas) ... but is stuff like that the norm? Is this really progress?
I think I much preferred "snow", ghosting ... and all the rest!
Anyway, it looked to me like it was a case of "99 channels and nothing on" (although I'll admit that I
did enjoy a couple of episodes of "All Creatures Great and Small")!
