I haven't mentioned this site before but I thought it would be of interest to people on here.
I don't run this site, someone else does. It's a website with a pretty much complete history of British Digital Broadcasting/ONdigital/ITV Digital/ONdigital 1998 PLC. It has plenty of videos on two different YouTube accounts and documents such as leaflets handed out at the time. It's a very good site for people like me who are particularly interested in the early history of digital TV in the UK.
But I think one of the best things about this site is the Twitter feed they run @ONhistory. It takes bulletins from the archives of the website and posts tweets about what happened ONthisday in the history of ONdigital. For example, today in 2001 Wellbeing and Two Way TV shut down. Maybe not particuarly exciting, but certainly nostalgia inducing of digital TV past. Probably a more interesting tweet is one from 19 Dec about the day BDB was granted its licenses - the beginning of DTT. It also includes stories from after the end of ITV Digital and the early days of Freeview up until 2005 or so.
Anyway I suggest you visit it as it's a great site with lots of great files you can't find anywhere else.
