Lords call for the end of TV transmissions

Isendel Steel
Alert

Sounds fine in principle....

However, there would also need to be some investment at the receiver end - those who don't want or need broadband for example (it would now become a necessary evil and additional cost to those on limited income).

Would meet the government view of every service to be web based - the smart TV sellers must be applauding this and rubbing their hands together (and yes I know it's just a recommendation).

What happens when SWMBO says that if we need a new TV she doesn't want a smaller unit than we had !

Ended up with an LG Smart TV with passive 3D and a free 3d blu-ray player (also got permission to network it so she can watch endless re-runs on iPlayer (btw another one for apple to fight over))

Not from Microsoft - but obviously you require multiple devices and more importantly licenses to boost the coffers (bulk purchase deal perhaps ?)

Re: A largely English-speaking population???

Although listening to the reports from the 2008 Olympics where they were interviewing Chinese school children (8 - 12 yrs ?) on BBC R4 they should be wiping the floor with Indian call centres any time soon (also comprehension of spoken English was pretty good - try that when someone won't break a script to understand what you are saying !)

Re: Re Time to phase out cheques

The process describe by Kubla is similar to that operated by our window cleaner, we get an invoice and a prepaid envelope. Probably because we may be lucky enough not to reside in a city centre / urbanized estate where this may be an issue.

Re: Time to phase out cheques

And replace them with what ? I think that is the issue that postponed killing them off earlier.

Small (simple) businesses (window cleaners for example) may not have the tech to process card or NFC payments/.

Would be useful at DisneyWorld

The size of those car parks are huge - and if you happen to have one of those standard white hire cars (well they were when I went) and forgot (in your haste to enter the park) to note where you were. Assuming you had the details of the car (I guess that's where it falls down) or you owned a standard model "compact" you could ask for location - also assuming you had a portable SatNav or smartphone....

A BOFH is a BOFH

got a smile at the end as the PFY gets what he deserves for trying it on (as the BOFH knew what was coming - probably down to RFID tagging and monitoring HIS chair - probably slowed the lift as well - you wouldn't want to be on the same floor as the boss).
