Digital Revolution ?.

It seems that everyday now, we are being bombarded with reminders that the big switchover to digital TV happens next year. Whilst it is undoubtedly true that picture quality will be greatly improved those of us who have experience of digital YV know rhat more does not always mean better when it comes to the channels that can be recieved. DTV is fine if you are a sports fan prepared to pay for the extra sports channels or if you are into the latest filoms but forothers it just means endless channels full of repeats from the existing terrestrial channels.

The one good thing about the Sky digital channels is that it gives access to news from other sources in the world beyond the BBC. I suspect that with things as they are, we are going to need access to all the news sources we can get.
