But here goes anyway. This digital change over thing does it include radio or is it just television?

Told you it was daft

Radio is included if you have one that can receive pictures. Also, if you have cooker which has an analogue clock/timer that will need to be replaced with a digital version. Contact the cooker manufacturer for details of an update, sometimes they can do it online.

for weighing up are you using digital or balance scales? if balance it will be the same as the analogue clock you'll have to go to manufacturers website to upgrade/update ;)


I think the switchover is only for terrestrial tvs Veekay :D

I must check up with my car manufacturer-the radio in my car is digital but the speedometer etc. are analogue, I wonder if they need to change to digital readout?

OK heres a daft question

Can anyone explain as to what is going to happen when the digitial changeover happens? Does it affect only tv or does it affect anything else and how will it affect it?
With tvs does it mean that terrestval(sp) tv will not work and you can only watch it on freeview or sky?
I'm not sure bout it all a dn not scared to ask lol :)

You can ask but do you get any sense? Not yet..........
It is just tv's but if you have cable sky or freeview youre fine.
Digital radio is yet to arrive - so much for having a dab radio for 5 years! Silly me I thought if the coop sells them they must be working here.

Of course, this means that all those bankers with Rolex watches will have to replace them with digital Casios or similar......

(Bankers - was that spelt correctly - yes I think so!)

Loved the video, BTW

Ask a daft question on the Org and you just have to have daft answers or it just wouldn't be the Org - thats why we love it.
