You stated that Freeview was being purchased by the old and infirm. I stated that it was just the opposite. I in no way suggested that the success of Freeview was predicated on the purchase of receivers by children for their parents. The success of Freeview is a combination of a good product and a decent modulation. As other countries with other model become increasingly successful around the world our OTA transitions failure will stand out all the more. Take what I presented anyway you like but it must be relatively easy to find a receiver in the UK since 5 million will have been found soon.
