Warning meters in 300,000 homes could stop working

AJJewsbury


Presumably this is just journalistic panic, in reality won't they just delay the switch-off (again) if there really is a problem?

  • Typical poor and Miss information.  BBC news is becoming more like getting the news from YouTube.  Can'y always be trusted and half of the time is not verified.



    From my understanding what will happen is the meter will charge the customer at the higher rate permanently.  I bet an enconomy 7 heater at 7pence per kWh will not seem so economy at 40pence per kWh

    It's the BBC who are running the RTS transmitter that's about to be switched off!

    You would think that someone would have a copy of the RTS specification, and could say definitively what the receivers will do when the signal is turned off.  I was under the impression that they could be sent a program, which they would continue to follow until told otherwise.
