website to promote National Mass Retuning Day
 

Digital UK are now operating a web site to promote the activities of
the National Mass Retuning Day (NMRD).

http://www.tvretune.co.UK/

I do not understand why the web site is saying that an antenna upgrade
may be required for the NMRD event when various postal codes are entered
to specify various locations which are currently in very strong DVB-t
signal areas.

The reception predictor is now so accurate , it needs your
house number, I_don't_think_so.
I get enough junk mail thank you very much.

Even postcodes a couple of miles from Winter Hill (C/D group
not changing) are flagged as aerial upgrade may be required.
Who sponsors this site, the CAI?

What's with this 'Mass' word?

Is it some religious ceremony organised by the Vatican?

Re-tuning into God's channels perhaps?

"Alternatively, if you think you may need to replace your aerial due to its
age or condition, do not attempt to adjust it yourself. Look for an
installer with the digital tick logo - this means they have been trained and
security checked. Only Registered Digital Installers (RDIs) are permitted to
use the digital tick logo. Ask for their photo ID card and membership
number."

Perhaps "Registered Digital Installers" need to pay Digital UK Ltd. to
become registered? So in return they will push new installations their way.
If so then yes, the site is effectively paid for by installers if not the
CAI.

It is an adjective.

As in "mass transit"? Or "mass demonstration"? Or "mass movement"?

Or how about, as a nounc -- every body in the depths of space will have
zero weight, but will always have mass? Never confuse mass with weight.

Does the word mass have mass appeal?

Is it some religious ceremony organised by the Vatican?

In specialized usage, when used as a noun, it could be.

Re-tuning into God's channels perhaps?

For those, you need a satellite dish and receiver.

Perhaps it's to re-calibrate the kitchen scales from lbs to DVB-kg?

Hang on..
This is silly surely? The time when a change of aerial might be needed is on
switch over day in that area, when they may have to move the multiplexes,
not when all they are doing is cutting adrift all the channels who won't pay
up to be included on relays of the main station?

Yup, I think it will all end up being such a shambles by the time the whole
country switches, Rupert Murdoch will be Pope.

I won't have anything to do with RDA or CAI.

Oh dear, that means according to Digital UK Ltd., you haven't been "trained
and security checked" and worse still, you can't use the "Digital Tick"! ;-)

Alternatively, it means you don't get involved in racketeering and so are
more trustworthy, but wait a minute, what's this 'Constructionline' logo on
your website?
