Absolutely.
The only way get close to handling this is for
all TVs sold in the UK from now on to be dual standard analogue/digital. Then when the switch-over occurs, there won't be a sudden problem with TVs that have years of life left in them being obsolete. For those with ancient TVs that they just won't get rid of, there needs to be a subsidy scheme to enable them to get a STB. Of course, none of this is going to happen and come 2012 a lot of confused OAPs are going to find they have no TV.
