Default My brain hurts..

I've just spent an interesting time trying to explain who is and who is not
affected by digital switchover to a room full of fellow blind people. The
snag you see, is that people actually are not really sure how their current
telly is delivered to start with so trying to explain the differences
between satellite cable and freeview has no meaning to them.
sigh.

LCNs Brian.

Ask them what channel ITV2 is on, then you can deduce:
6=Freeview
113=Freesat
118=SkyGuide
115= Virgin Media
