A satirical poem on the trials and tribulations of installing a set-top box to receive digital TV ahead of the pending switchover from analogue in Scotland and the UK.
Five c**p channels and nothing on.
Soon to be 70+ c**p channels, nothing on:
Apart from more poker, roulette, soft porn,
Rolling news with the same news on loop,
More repeats of Murder She Wrote, Morse,
Lewis, Come Dine With Me, Big Brother
(Who gives a damn who wins?); Millionaire
Repeats (could have been me – 2005 finallist,
Half second too slow on Fastest Finger First).
So, now it’s installed – but what’s this?
Low signal, old aerial, Tay Bridge relay
Transmitter on a go-slow; all needs re-tuning
On 4th and 18th August. So much for
New technology. Welcome to the digital revolution!
