...a village in Wales had their DSL knocked out at 7 a.m. every morning due to a resident turning on an old CRT TV set:

I'm amazed that that old clunker still had reception and got analog signal. To my grandmother's eternal chagrin analog signal has been taken down in the Netherlands. And now she had to get digital signal and a signal box with its own separate remote with which she is eternally at war because her old TV (not CRT thankfully) couldn't handle digital signal directly.

Thats good for her.

Bad news for me because whenever we visit her we have to fix some mistake she made with the remote. God I hope I do not become as technologically handicapped as she is at age 94. Still, lets first see if we can make it that far.
