It's not an attempt to push people onto digital because the effects of the same problem on digital TV are far, far worse. Analogue problems just add a bit of fuzzy or snowy inconvenience to the display. Digital problems drop the entire channel and usually 5 or 6 either side for as much as an hour. Taking into account the average "quality" of digital TV, that means that I can easily lose all watchable TV at random intervals and for indeterminate durations. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
