Except that the UK is already doing a rolling conversion and Canada
will be dropping analog in two or three years. Maybe the Caribbean...


IIRC, the UK hasn't had any VHF television since they dropped the old 320(?)
line system in favor of PAL. I could be wrong about the timeline, but I'm
pretty sure it's been a very long time since they dropped what they call
Band I.

Opps, right. I think they did keep it going until the late 80's,
depending on the viewing population. It might be a legend, but I think
it got to the point at one transmitter site that they bought the last
little old lady a new TV set, rather than keep the transmitter and her
ancient TV going.

dig, dig, dig ... System A 405 lines, 50 Fps, 10125 Hz line rate.
That makes my ears hurt just thinking about it.
