Aerials...

I've been with Freeview since the days of ONDigital, and in fact still use an OnDigital set-top box for my oldest spare-room telly.

Out here in a rural area way beyond the reach of cable, satellite was the only alternative - even ADSL struggles to beat 1MB here - and I don't like making Murdoch richer.

But you know what? Spend 40 quid on having a decent aerial fitted (by a pro who aligns it right) and the picture goes from pants to pristine. Maybe after all this time and loads of warning, people should grin and bear that cost - which is I believe about the same as an unsubsidised dish would cost to be installed.
