Wherever did you get the idea that getting old suddenly means that you lose most of your brain and don't know what you are doing? I would say that anyone thinking along those lines is very confused and doesn't have a clue about life.

If you can remember the days when all TV channels were broadcast in VHF you will know how the progression to UHF went. It wasn't the end of the world!

Maybe the move to all digital could be the time when the TV licence was scrapped, giving most people the extra cash to convert to digital.

I must admit I was a little surprised at the OAP comments too, my grandparents (65 and 66) were the first to have freeview in our family!
