There are countless millions of CRT portables currently sitting happily on kitchen worktops, bedside tables etc in homes throughout the country which are suddenly going to fail when the signal is switched off. They quite likely outnumber the 'main tv'.
It'll be no good buying a digibox because there won't be an aerial socket to use and the current generation of indoor aerials are absolute pants.
This issue simply has not been addressed to the best of my knowledge.
Chris Nowak is right - I have tried every which way BUT connecting my portable to a roof HG antenna and the results are dreadful. The industry has got egg on its face big time with this problem. I can see no solution to 'the millions-of-kitchen/bedroom-portables-analogue-switch-off' problem.0 -
