I bought a digital TV (it's a Toshiba 20") to go with my new office. Purely to keep clients' kids entertained, y'understand!!

Well there was no aerial, so I bought an indoor thing (£30) - it didn't work. So eventually after doing a Statue of Liberty pose I got the damn thing to work, but the TV was practically on the ceiling.

So got my friendly aerial engineer out to put an aerial on the roof (landlord says OK) and friendly aerial engineer says that the signal in Shrews town centre is too weak as there's no direct line to The Wrekin. So the only choice is to instal a Sky dish with Sky Max. Oh great.

So the flatscreen TV is coming home and I'll replace it with a non digi thing and a Skybox.

And the government is going to switch off the analogue system over the next few years - so if you're in a town centre where reception is poor you have no choice but to go satellite.
