I can't believe I'm saying this but that was very, very poignant indeed.
To think it was less than fifteen years ago when digital television launched, and now here we are in an analogue-free country...I remember first hearing about the switchover about a decade ago and scoffing at the idea, thinking surely it would never happen. But there we go.
In a few months I've got a cousin being born. He'll never have lived in a five-channel, analogue television world. It'll be to them what the likes of black & white 405-line TV has always been to me - ancient history.
Funny how you can feel old at the age of 24...

Gotta say, they pulled it outta the bag. If only Scotland and Wales had done something along these lines.

I was only in a 4 channel world until STV North switched over, thankfully since the switchover STV Central provides a stronger signal.

Whilst on UTV, a long announcement about switchover - and then Tina Campbell out-of-vision over an ident into the football. No old stuff, no thanks for watching. Typical Havoc House.
