The date has been set for the first Digital TV switchover in the UK. The analogue TV signal will be turned off from 17 October in Whitehaven area of western Cumbria. First to go will be BBC2 before being followed by the remaining analogue channels on November 14. The move means that the 25,000 residents of Whitehaven will have to switch to Digital TV by those dates in order to keep receiving TV.

In order to receive Digital TV people will need to purchase a Freeview set-top box or subscribe to satellite, cable or broadband TV in order to keep viewing TV. New equipment, installation and support will be given to people over 75, those with significant disabilities and the blind. The assistance will cost 40 pounds, or will be free for eligible people who are also on pension credit, job seeker's allowance or income support.

Anti-Aging

Anti-Aging items and balms are often used by men and women above 40 years old to help prevent wrinkles and maintain the suppleness. Some anti-aging products also help to tighten up the tissues. Most of the time these have various herbal extracts and essences that aid in the prevention of wrinkle formation. They are also often marketed to women, but studies have shown that the male population is seriously interested in anti-aging products too.

Case Examples
A Broadcaster or Service Provider needs to
* Play out "Source" video sequences at various resolutions and rates to their encoder and/or video processing equipment.
* Capture the output of the encoder and/or video processing equipment.
* Capture the output from the STB.
* Test the quality of the encoder, video processing, and set-top box equipments. To do this, they need to
o Bring in Subjective Experts to choose the appropriate vendor ("bake-off") or to choose the correct settings.
o Generate a Score for repeatability.

A Solution/System Integrator creates a broadcast solution using encoder, network, video processing, VOD, conditional access, and set-top box providers. They market and sell their solution to Broadcasters or Service Providers. So they perform all of the above tests. When they cannot bring the Broadcaster or Service Provider into their viewing room to see the solution, they would like to take the test results to the Broadcaster. Thus, they have the additional requirement for a
* Portable solution to show side-by-side comparisons to the Broadcaster or Service Provider.
