    Analogue TV's will not work until Septober when they switch off the digital signal.

    My Analogue TV has never worked. I leave Job page open in front of him, but he just ignores it.

    Yes, old tellies work fine.

    Analogue tvs (CRTs) will still work fine from September, provided they've a digital signal going into them.

    They do if they are connected to a digital receiver (here's a good one).

    But as Uncle Gaybo would say:

    "It's time to go digital!"

    Analogue Switch Off (ASO) is when analogue television transmission in Ireland will be turned off. This will happen on October 24th 2012.

    Like the rest of Europe, North America and many other countries, television broadcasting in Ireland is switching from analogue to digital transmission.

    Digital television is a major step change in broadcasting that has many advantages over analogue for TV viewers. Digital TV can offer more channels, high definition (HD) pictures and sound, on-screen programme guides and new interactive services.

    From a national economic perspective, digital transmission allows for far more efficient use of valuable radio spectrum. Moving to digital will free up radio spectrum for use by other important communications services such as broadband, mobile TV or other communications services. The Government has estimated that the Irish economy will benefit by up to €500 million over the next decade as a result of the switch to digital television. See press release.

    The EU has mandated the end of 2012 as the final date for ASO in Europe, by which time Ireland needs to have launched a replacement digital transmission system to ensure all Irish audiences can continue to access free-to-air television.

    Further questions/discussions of a technical nature can be done in Terrestrial forum.
