Which I will guarantee will be preferable to the freezes, pixillation and sound cut outs they'll get with broadcast digital. |
Is digital that poor in the US, August? We have Sky+, admittedly at some monthly expense), and have virtually no problems with it. Before that we had a 'freeview' box for several years, and although it was not quite as reliable as Sky, was worth it simply for the range of channels.
Of course, over here we were limited to 5 analog stations.
The digital switchover is well underway in the UK, and I really don't think it will affect many financially - I suspect hardly anyone. I genuinely do not know of anyone of any age group who has not already got a freeview box, but I suppose there are still a few out there.
