"Steve Weller, head of communication services at uSwitch.com, said: "VCRs
won't work in the same way after the switchover. They will not be capable of
recording anything other than the channel you are watching. If you go out,
or even go on holiday, you would have to leave your digital receiver
switched on and set to the channel that you want?hardly in line with the
drive to improve household energy efficiency."
