Almost a Million UK Homes Will Suffer 4G TV interference

Posted by samzenpus on from the clear-the-channel dept.

First time accepted submitter Nick Fel writes "As the UK nears the end of a lengthy digital TV switch-over, the sale of the analogue TV spectrum for 4G mobile phones will disrupt digital TV in almost a million homes. Affected homes will be issued with a filter or required to upgrade to satellite or cable, and in extreme cases may be granted funding to find their own solution."

    Just yesterday I actually had someone tell me to enter my "personal PIN number ID" for a university copying machine. That's enough to make one's head explode.

    And I once had a wedding invitation that said "Please respond to RSVP promptly."

      Yep. I always try to correct them when I can, keep them on the straightened arrow.

    The 10k is to install a fiber-optic based solution to the residence.

    Wouldn't it be a lot cheaper to just give them a Royal exemption from copyright law and let them get the shows from Pirate Bay?
