We have an older tv. We also have a combination VHS recorder/DVD Player. At present, we use a box for watching Freeview digital tv programmes.
I would like to know after the switchover what we can do about watching our VHS videos � both the programmes we recorded from tv and the films/concerts videos we bought. Note: we do not have VHS movies to convert.
I understand you can convert VHS video tapes to your computer and then from there, turn them into DVDs. However, we do not think our 7 year old computer will be able to do this. It has Windows XP. It contains AMD Athlon � XP 2000, 1.67 GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM. I have a DVD drive � cd type and a DVD-RAM drive � cd type.
Can anybody give advice how we can do this. (Please speak in layman's terms, as I am a computer and digital dummy.)
VHG is right.
According to the 2009 edition of Radio Listeners Guide, the Digital Radio Working Group, established in 2007 by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, with the purpose of working out a timetable for the change from analogue radio to digital, originally gave a target date of 2020.
However, they recommended that the digital switchover should not start until 50% of radio listening devices were digital, so even the 2020 completion date seems optimistic
