Digital UK pays for new livery and seats on Central Line Train

Erm, how exactly does that help?

I'd have thought that they really have done enough. is it really a problem
if nobody now knows about it? I mean they have translated it, given talks to
blind and minority groups and done everything they can in my view.
Now there is a certain responsibliity to being a citizen, you cannot surely
not know its about to happen, unless you have been living the hirmit life,
in which case why would you care as you probably don't have a telly.

Its ironic they pick the underground, probably one of the only places you
cannot pick up the signal.

Because it is so difficult to get the digital switch over message across
to people living in Greater London and western Essex by conventional
press,
radio, and television advertising (maybe Greater Londoners do not read
news
papers or listen to the radio or watch television), Digital UK has take
the
extra-ordinary measure of paying to refurbish the whole of a London
Underground
Central Line train in Digital Switchover colors and seat patterns.

I am sure that licence fee payers feel that this is money well spent
and wish underworld railways users a nice new refurbished train journey
on the Central Line.

I'm getting daft calls from relatives concerned by the leaflet they sent
out. Basically haven't read the leaflet but would like a yes / no answer
about whether they should do something.

You should explain to them that they need to buy a 3D TV if they
want to watch the Olympics in 3D on BBC HD this Summer.

For perfect results you need to be sitting on a 3D sofa or 3D chair.

Really?

I haven't seen any in my area either

I have however had three letters through the post about it.

What better way is there of communicating with a fixed audience?

When it happened here we never got letters in the post.

We had gone digital years earlier anyway.

Surely most Londoners will be the same and have gone digital over the past
years just to get extra programs so a waste of money doing the train out.
The few who are not digital now might not ride in that train anyway.

But even if you have gone digital, if you have a Freeview box or TV,
most will still require a retune at DSO 1 and DSO 2. So, it's important
that message gets across too.

At least both the BBC's main sites, are served by the Central Line, so
hopefully all of their ill informed journos might just get the message !

Of the TV station to which you then had access,
which TV station did you most want to watch and
which one did you watch most often?

Please remember that this is not just digital switch over for
Greater Londoners but also residents in the counties of
Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, and Surrey
who receive the London regional transmissions.

I think it safe to say that the overwhelming majority of people who
need to convert to digital will never ride that train, so it does
seem to be a pointless waste of money.

However remember they have this "need" to spend their budget.

Why? Otherwise it will be cut next year?
