DSO Excitement Builds in Scotland
 

Touch of irony there.

Craigkelly completes DSO tomorrow which will restore ITV signal strength and
give us HD for the first time. So I'm off round the old ladies retuning
furiously first thing in the morning.

That's a euphemism I've never heard before.

Blackhill. 21 June. End of analogue television in Scotland.
Definitely worth being a part of history. Does anyone know the
detailed countdown? When and how often will captions appear on
analogue TV? When will the actual switch-off take place? Will there
be anything to see on the digital multiplexes? And will there be any
special event to mark the occasion? Countdown clock? Speech by Alex
Salmond? Jackie Bird? Billy Connolly? When should the single malt
be at the ready?

Incisive comments by Rab C. Nesbitt?

When should the single malt
be at the ready?

Always.

In future whisky must be measured digitally, using the traditional
"fingers".

Well, for BBC 2 Black Hill last week, the Beeb's continuity announcer stumbled
her way through an announcement:-

BBC Wales for the end of BBC 1 was a far more slick affair:-

But only seen by viewers in South East Wales since most other
analog transmitters, those in the North and West had been
turned off four to five months earlier.

I assume the Scottish announcement was only seen by analogue viewers
in Central Scotland for the same reason.

On second thoughts, if the announcement went out on digital as well, I
assume there is a single multiplex for Scotland so it would be seen by
all the viewers in Scotland, so I see what you mean.
