More Freview STB's & IDTV's to become obselete at switchover !

Due to a technical change taking place at switchover, several older STB's and IDTV's will not work after switchover. All of this equipment is a few years old (1998 - 2003). IDTV's can be upgraded by adding a modern STB (although this somewhat defeats the object of an IDTV).

Details of affected models are on the Digitaluk website (pdf file)

I would imagine that none of these models carry the DVB logo as they're not DVB-T standards compliant, and therefore it's a case of buyer beware.

For equipment which can be upgraded, it may be worth keeping an eye on the running schedule for updates:
