Having been in the Electronic Service Industry for 30years Im am not surprised to hear that customers will have to update thier TV’s by purchasing another add on. Imust have been the only techy who was advising his customers not to purchase TV receivers with integral Freeview as Freeview and Freeview HD were not compatable. As some one who repairs this stuff and Installes Aerials I will continue to advised customers to purchase Tv, Freeview and freesat as seperate boxes, two reasons one is when you need to update or repair you wont lose the use of a Tv set or have to buy a new Tv.

The goverments decision to sell of the ‘old’ analogue UHF tv frequencies via Ofcom is totally wrong and limits the amount of HD channels that will be available on Freeview to about 4. If the old analogue channels were to be recycled for Freeview HD that would add another 10 HD channels to Freeview HD. You can guess what I can think of that decision and the money gradding approach of the government, and the PROFIT orientated Ofcom. What a regulator, it simply makes as much as it can available for profit, and thats it.

What a bunch of mugs we are in the UK…We were told only a few scant years ago (3-5) that we needed to get the latest HD ready TV’s and be ready for the ‘digital revolution’…yada yada yada…So, guess what, yeah, we were suckered…how many countless millions went out and payed through the nose for ‘state of the art’ TV’s; set top boxes; etc etc and now, surprise surprise,they’ll soon be as useless as the mud on a hippo’s backside…the ‘latest’ deal from that Australian ‘never enough’ sky bloke is to reduce his prices to ensnare even more idiots like me who believed all the hype. The annoying and sad thing is, the EU powers that be allowed it all to happen, and we voted them in…surely the ultimate display of stupidity. 3 or 4 years down the road, we’ll be told that we now need to buy more new equipment, because there are now different standards, and all the new gear we bought in 2010, is obsolete…Nice state of afairs innit…
