For me, an unmitigated disaster.
Had all the Freeview channels until a couple of nights ago, and had re-tuned a few times in recent weeks.
Now, zilch. Zero. Not even a radio programme on the box.
Why not? The "2K list". What's that? A list of integrated digital tv models (mine's a Sony) that were sold up until recently and which were supposed to be entirely compatible with the switchover. But apparently the government decided on a new system, which means that these models are obsolete, or at least they need a Freeview box. That's no big deal, of course, except that Sony (in good faith) sold us an apparatus which now doesn't do what they said it would.
But I have previous in this kind of thing, having invested in a V-2000 (or Betamax) video recorder back in the old days.
How is it that I consistently tend to support the loser?
