Re: TV transmitters

Not sure if Mimi's is Winter Hill or Pendle Forrest - she's still on the old analogue aeriel in her room. When it goes off no doubt we'll get nagged at to get a sky extension.

Re: TV transmitters

I thought it was put back to 2007 or 8 now. Something due to teh number of people who haven't yet taken up digital TV from either Sky or Cable.

Re: TV transmitters

Re: TV transmitters

Well in that case they can't possibly get rid of analogue because chopping down the tres is not an option. :D

Re: TV transmitters

The houses next door but three to me only get Sky when there are no leaves on the trees. For teh summer they have to make do witha VERY crappy analog picture despite having massive aerials and amps and just about every other gadget known to man to try and get a decent signal. One of them actually asked his next door but one neighbour(who can get a signal if they could put a dish on his chimney and run a cable across to his house!

Re: TV transmitters

My father reckons that the government should pay for him to have new equipment when they turn off the analogue transmitters.

I told him he should pay for it - TV is a luxury, after all

Re: TV transmitters

So why are freeview boxes been invented if they are doing away with the ariels ?

Re: TV transmitters

Oooh a point but i dont think its the ariels just the analogue signal altho freeview boxes require a good ariel to recieve it.

Not according to the DSS. It is now classed as a necessity.

Re: TV transmitters

If your ariel & reception are fine on freeview then you are fine, its just when the ITV digital came out many people were told to get their ariel upgraded.
