I don't watch much TV and have always found the main 5 terrestrial channels more than adequate for my needs. I don't currently own a set-top box, but I do realise that I will have to get one by 2011/2012 if I want to continue to receive terrestrial TV.
I was wondering whether it would be better to get involved now, or wait until nearer the switchover. Does anyone (someone in the trade, perhaps) have any clues as to whether supply of STBs will be able to meet demand if everyone who needs one leaves it 'til the last minute? Are there any members on here from Whitehaven with any issues on this front (eg "I wanted to buy a Humax 9200TB, but all I could get was a £17.99 single-tuner jobbie from ASDA...")?
