TV Digital Switchover dates announced

The exact dates when the analogue TV signals will be turned off in the Whitehaven Television area have now been announced.

The Whitehaven TV area covers most of Copeland, with the exception of areas around Lowca, St Bees, and in the south of the borough. Any terrestial TV taking it's signal from the Bigrigg transmitter or one of those parented on it such as Gosforth will be affected when the TV signal switches over from Analogue to Digital this autumn.

It has now been confirmed that BBC2 will switch over from analogue to Digital signals in the Whitehaven area on 17th October 2007. Over the following month everyone will be able to check that their digital eqipment such as set-top boxes actually works - if you can receive BBC2 after 17th October, your digital equipment is working.

The other terrestial channels will switch over to digital, and the analogue signal will be switched off, on 14th November.

From 14th November, no Television or TV equipment which is not digital capable will be able to receive or record a signal without a set-top box in the Whitehaven TV area.

If you are buying any new television equipment, and want it to work in the area after 14th November without a set-top box, make sure it has the Digital logo (the work Digital followed by a tick in a box.)

I am interested to read your comments on this shocking Labour Government and the sleezy way its has operated.
At present and on a great many Internet news and blog sites,there is a lot of talk about Lord Levy,"cash for honours" and now we hear that this young American Courtney Coventry seems to have a lot of hot information on the subject. Ofcourse,one can not help but admire her for coming such a long way to spill the beans,ofcourse you have to be stunned by her pictures,BUT,why for heavens sake,do we have to have a young girl called Courtney travel all this distance, as I am sure there are many people in the Labour party,who could and should come forward with information..But don't have the guts.!!!

Nick Herbert on his visit to flood hit areas of Cumbria

Please note that the post below was published more than ten year ago on 21st November 2009 Nick Herbert MP, shadow cabinet member for the Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, was in Cumbria this morning to see the areas affected by the flooding. He writes on Conservative Home about his visit. Here is an extract. I’ve been in Cumbria today to see the areas affected by the floods. I arrived early in Keswick where I met officials from the Environment Agency. Although the river levels had fallen considerably and homes were no longer flooded, the damage to homes had been done. And the water which had got into houses wasn’t just from the river – it was foul water which had risen from the drains. I talked to fire crews who were pumping flood water back into the river, and discovered that they were from Tyne & Wear and Lancashire. They had been called in at an hours’ notice and had been working on the scene ever since, staying at a local hotel. You cannot fail to be impressed by the

Quotes of the day 19th August 2020

"Wise men profit more from fools than fools from wise men; for the wise men shun the mistakes of fools, but fools do not imitate the successes of the wise."  ( Cato the Elder , who lived 234 BC - 149 BC, quoted in "Lives" by Plutarch.) There is a similar saying by Germany's Iron Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck: Benjamin Franklin is supposed to have put the same saying in a more humorous form: "Wise men profit by the mistakes of others, while fools will not learn even from their own blunders." See also this thread on the "Quote Investigator" website . Let us all be wise and learn from the events of the last few days.

Quote of the day 24th July 2020

I was moved to put the passage below forward as a quote today when I saw a horrible post on twitter from someone writing that it was "excellent" that someone who took a different view from her about Brexit had died. I won't write which way round it was so that all the Remain supporters can assume the post was from a Brexit fanatic welcoming the death of a remainer and all the Leavers can assume it was a Remainiac welcoming one less Brexiteer. There's been plenty of nasty stuff on both sides but if you catch anyone of your own viewpoint  posting something like that who might listen to you, please do call them out on it - and point out that they're giving everyone on your side of the argument a bad name. Anyway, here's the quote from John Donne.
