It was bound to happen. This morning I replied to an email from someone wondering why their analogue television has stopped working.

In fairness, I'm not sure what more the Digital Switchover campaign could have done but getting a message like this out to the public is always difficult. If you want more information, there is plenty on the Digital UK website. They also have a call centre that can be reached on 08456 50 50 50.
You can help as well by keeping an ear open for friends complaining about televisions not working and checking if they are affected. I for one am very pleased that my Grandmother has been with Sky for many years and so isn't affected. Do share any stories below.

Walk into any major electronics retailer and you will be confronted by an ever-growing range of 3D TVs. Walk into a cinema and it's increasingly likely there will be something to watch in 3D. Undoubtedly, the 3D revolution is picking up momentum, which is strange, as from what we've seen of it, 3D is actually quite bad.
