NOT true.
So are you saying Ofcom are not selling off that spectrum ?

Got a URL to Ofcom that says that ?

But the lack of COM MUXes at the 1100
relays are not due to this sale - not at all.
There are are enough channels for the COM
MUXes.

Well, I'm not sure about that. There's only just enough room for four
analogue channels, with the full current UHF range. Adding in another
two 8 MHz allocations per site might not be easy in some areas, never
mind doing that with the removal of 14 of the available 44 channels.
Although of course the lower protection ratios for DTT, and the use of
SFNs would help.

I was responding in the context of the OP's question on why his present
four analogue channels are not being replaced by four DTT muxes, so I
wasn't very clear, and you're right what I said isn't strictly true.


Again, post the URL so we can read that in context. I really can't see
the COM operators extending beyond a 100 or so sites, it simply won't be
economic for them.

The text "Ofcom 6.40 dttfuture consultation" into Google
gave the first answer line:
http://www.ofcom.org.uk/consult/cond.../dttfuture.pdf

So I will say, I did post the URL.

Fair game. Thank you.

Close though. This one has a modulator - now £29 quid in ALDI

Problem is 'little old lady' has no one telling her about it.

I may be wrong, but I think that they recoup some of the cost of the
modulator by not providing any form of AV output. Am I wrong?

Nope. AV output (Stereo sound & CVBS) is available on a 2.5mm 4-pole socket.

At about 14 I switched to the left to avoid RSI.

Come on Bill, RSI wasn't even a glimmer in its grandfathers eye when you
were 14!!

Ah, I thought there was something 'different' about this unit.

Unfortunately, the lead is non-standard (well, the 2.5mm connector is).
It's an optional extra, and has to be ordered separately. [There is also
an optional RC (which enables Audio Description) and IR receiver
extender.] While you could make up your own AV lead, this type of
connector is not something which you are likely to have in your junk
box. Otherwise, it looks a nice little unit, and eminently suitable for
little old ladies with ancient TV sets which may - or may not - have an
AV input!

I thought it was usually after 99.

Doing it with the other hand feels like someone else is doing it for
you.
