As a subscriber to the now defunct OnDigital (latterly ITV Digital), I was sad to see the service go into receivership as it meant that I lost the select few 'pay' channels I wanted including the excellent Film Four. I don't follow football and find the politics, ethics and morals of media slime such as R*p*rt M*rd*ch and T*d T*rn*r objectionable, so it is a no-brainer to avoid Sky and their like. However, I do want to participate and get the most from this groovy technology.
So it is a hip, hip, horray for the BBC who, with the recent green light from the Government, have started rolling out their wider digital TV and radion offerings, as I discovered this morning when I was forced to reload the channels on my cranky (but never-collected-by-OnDigital's-administrators-so-free) Nokia DTB.
The only problem is that the kids have now kidnapped the remote and are watching a McCauley Culkin movie....so maybe I'll have to get that TV card after all.
