[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 31063, member: 175057"] There may be advantages to some in prolonging the broadcasting of analogue alongside digital, but there are also disadvantages to others. There are those at present who cannot receive a full analogue package and some who cannot receive a full digital package, if reception is possible at all. Once the analogue frequencies are shut down, it will leave the way open for enhancing the digital signal strengths in some fringe regions and providing transmissions in other areas where they may have clashed with the analogue signals. It should also open the door to perhaps more channels. There are already portable ID TVs in the pipeline, but I guess that the price will not drop substantially, until they do away with the analogue side of the receiver and potential sales rise. There appears to be a generation of low spec, but very affordable digital receivers on the way also, so may be possible to add digital to a second or third TV for £40 or so. The digital roller coaster is well under way, huge numbers of the public are starting to realise that there is more to life than five channels and to attempt to limit the progress may be a futile task.
