I see that Tessa Jowell is claiming that the digital switchover is likely to be in 2010. I just can’t see that.
While many homes are now “digital”, they only have one receiver which means additional TVs and videos are not. There are also vast tracts of the country that are simply not covered by anything bar Sky. All those little transmitters serving tiny communities in rural parts of Britain – particularly in Scotland and Wales. And the technology is still unproven.
