Re: Analogue terrestrial switch-off
Quote:
David Sinclair, policy manager at Help the Aged, welcomed the expected announcement, but warned that in a recent survey, 57% of older people still saw digital television as a threat.
"While there is no doubt that digital television offers enormous potential for delivering services and information to isolated older people, it's vital that vulnerable groups are not pushed aside in the dash for digital."

Dash for digital? We've been going digital in this country for five years or more and it'll be another three years before the first analogue signal goes off. That's hardly a dash. More of a shuffle, really.
I smell an over-zealous Public Relations exec let loose on her first press release.
