Everything going digital

    So, I was watching TV and it seems they are not going to have it where you can just use those "rabbit ears" to get a TV station. Feb 2009, if you don't have a digital converter, cable or satalite you are out of luck for watching TV.

    ....Go figure. I knew they would do something like this. I'm sure some people gotta be a lil upset cuz its gonna be expensive.

    It's not going to be expensive for people...well not here anyway. I speak about in the UK

    A digitalbox (freeview) costs what? £20-50 depending on how good it is? One off payment, then your set for life. Most new TV's have it built in as well.

    Digital will be better, faster and cheaper above all. Everything is going toward digital, that's for sure.

    TV is so last century. I can't remember the last time I watched a TV except to watch a movie. All my video programming I get on the internet these days.

    Supermarkets even put digiboxes on offer for £10 sometimes, the picture quality over analog is so much better. Once they remove analog there'll be more room for extra digital channels and HD.

    Whilst we're ok here ( got sky last year ) there are plenty of people ( especially older ones ) who are still on analogue & for me it's the compulsion part I dont like .

    Freeview etc is a cheap way to go if you know your aerial is good ( lots of houses have old crap ones & most renters have no idea what aerial their landlord has installed we find if you get unlucky with that can be another £100 or so - a lot to some people spare change to others ofc ) .

    I switched from analog just a few months ago, had to get the converter to be able to order premium movie channels and use ppv.
