I don't think thats the point - you reduce the quality of the analogue signal so people go out and get digital. I don't know of anyone doing trial digital eqpt. So you end up with people with digital eqpt then you donut end up with the problems they have now with DAB where they are suggesting giving DAB radios to people for free as they are as popular as Vista! Since I moved here our analogue reception has seriously degraded. I'm prepared to believe that this is due to trees growing on intervening hills but also cynical enough to believe that it could be due to deliberate degradation at source. The main thing that puts me of digital tv, now I've got it, is that its absolute rubbish. I think the improved picture quality frees your brain to be more critical and even Torchwood with Freema in a tight t-shirt is now switched off! Hey ho!
