Well UK terrestrial analogue TV's getting canned
in what, five years? So
far there seems to be no outcry whatsoever, yet I'm amazed that people
aren't up in arms about having to fork out for a new set (or several, in
the case of most households), or at least a cable box and having to sign
up for cable TV.
At least this time around we have satellite TV. When the 405-line VHF
service was turned off in the 1980s, huge areas of the north of Scotland
lost their TV coverage altogether for anything up to two years.
