Sorry, but after due consideration, I've come to that conclusion.
It's just a ploy by the government and manufacturers to grab more hard earned of us all.
Digi telly is garbage. Freezing and distorting pictures, live links breaking constantly on the news, and quick fire repeat of speech on live broadcasts.
can't watch footie on telly and have the radio commentary on at the same time, due to 'time lapse'. ::)
Radio is not much better, with decidedly random and haphazard reception, requiring movement of the aerial of approx 1cm more often than not.
Mobile phones. cussing: Need i say more? Constant cut offs.
My old analouge Motorola house brick in the mid 90's was vastly superior in terms of quality of reception.
We've all been duped, yet again. Banghead

We are in somee sort of digi 'shadow' When we had a TV we got all kinds of bad signal shite. We had an aerial booster installed (I know a good man) which did seem to work. My moby works in most places apart from in the centre of the local town and in most parts of Wales, obviously. WHY?
Haven't tried DAB radio yet, but I imagine that will be shite too.

Save your money and purchase a couple of bottles more to chuck on your rancid stinking cake.

You said it! At least with analogue you were able to watch a fuzzy picture, with digital it's nowt! Unimpressed.

You could buy an aerial booster with your compo

My mobile does not work in the House, Sky is the only way we can receive digi radio or TV ~ even when the "Big Switchover" happens we will not be able to get Freeview or DAB Radio because we are in the 0.5% of the entire UK that has a mountain between us and the friggin Aerial Booster. Being in Wales we are told that we cannot use the transmitter that is on the Wirral (there is nothing but 3 or 4 miles of sea between us and it) because that does not carry "Welsh Programmes" ~ I don't watch f'ing Welsh Programmes but like everything else it is being done by post code.
And that's another thing. I have a Welsh post code ~ but all mail collected from here or sent to here is routed via Chester Sorting Office where the Posties don't speak or read Welsh ~ what's the point of that Eh?
And because of my Welsh postcode ALL official communications from Government, Inland Revenue, British Telecom and the DVLA, the Police, the Pensions Department is twice as thick as it needs be because they send it in English and in Welsh.
And Because my phone number is routed through a Welsh exchange every official body that I ring answers me in fecking Welsh ~ even 999, before they will speak to me in English ~ which, as I know, can be a bit of a bastard when you're having a heart attack and want an ambulance.
Meanwhile getting back to Digi everything ~ it is all a con to enable HM Govt to sell off the freed up airwaves to the highest bidder ~ and what do these bidders want them for ~ communi-fvcking-cation is what, because they know it works.

Thank you ~ I feel better now.

Weren't we originally told it was going to be vastly superior without the need for fancy add ons....bit like CD's (more shite) and were going to be the dogs danglies? ::)

Is that waht they say? 0.5%? My very fat arse 0.5% evil:
Nearly everyone I speak to is having trouble of, varying degrees granted, but generally of similar opinion to me. Duped. Banghead

That's nothing ~ according to Orange (my mobile service provider) 99.9% of the UK can receive their signals.
That'll mean that I represent 0.1% of the entire population then Banghead
I invited them to send someone to check the truth of my statement when I complained. They still haven't turned up.

Ooooooooooo! I buy stuff from them ~ mail order like ~ it arrives from all over the place so I suppose they simply farm the orders out to whichever shop has stock.
Kids are getting pressies bought from them.

No fight needed ~ If you have a TV set in the property, whether it works or not, you are obliged to buy a licence. If you do not have a TV ~ working or not ~ in the property, it is up to them to prove that you have.
BTW They can enter and search without a search warrant.
-
I want to know more about this enter and search stuff. Is there a plausible link that says Crapita ( who run the BBC Lience thing) can enter without a warrant and search your house. Serious question.!

Wireless and Telegraphy Act gives them that power. They will normally bring a policeman to arrest you if you try to stop them. I cannot be arsed to find a link but why not ring and ask them?
Remember I used to work for the Post Office before the job was passed over to Capita ~ that's how I know.

Just got back. Bloody marvelous place it is. cloud9:
Biggest selection of fantastic and probably useless tat under one roof ever.
It's a bit like those mags you get in the sunday papers, selling weird and wonderful shite that you have difficuly in believeing anyone would actually use or in fact haver a use for

Internet just crashed whilst typing in here. cussing:
More evidence of digi shite.

The other thing, if it hasn't been mentioned, is that access to some Beeb channels via the 'net requires a TV licence cool14:

He's a bugger to buy for, has a beard so no razor & doesn't wear insteadofshave. Last year I went onto aquarterof.com & bought him about 3kg of different old fashioned sweets, lasted all year! I thought I was ok this year as he has been dropping very heavy hints about getting a DAB radio in the sales after xmas.

It'll prolly be fine ~ it's those of us who live more than 50 miles from London that no bugger cares about. cussing:
