In my area (Lecco city) last week took place on final passage by the system of television reception in analog to digital, better known as switch off.
E 'is curious to note that the average population is not technically prepared at the event, so much so that I, who are certainly not a super technical, I'm making the rounds of friends and family to tune in next-generation set-top box or TV. I will not waste time in describing the hardships, sometimes really awkward to understand, as determined by the fact that some channels within the same building and see some apartments but not in others, causing friction among other heinous provocations that lead to such as "... but what the hell you do not want to see miss Rai Movie?" or "... I talk a lot about La 7 I see very well and even when it rains I take Heaven and The 5!"
The truth is that like so many other things there was adequate information and this often led to a distortion of reality by creating expectations terrstre absurd as if the digital magic that thing which is supported by the decoder was some sort of time machine capable of bringing things in life instead of death and buried. Emblematic in this respect was the question addressed to me by an old acquaintance of my family while we were talking of the new channels I innocently asked, "But you see Koper?". Taken aback and nearly upset the absurd request that I said is that the 80 Koper is no longer visible. But later I returned with my mind in those years when we saw the strange channel of a communist country where, however, spoke in Italian and began broadcasting at 16.45 in winter and an hour later when there was daylight saving time with a program entitled Odprta meja - open borders. I was reminded of the legendary football and basketball commentary by Sergio Tavcer, of improbable clashes between Borac and Olimpia Ljubljana, or between the Jugoplastika and Vojvodina. I remembered those little film of the second night in the name of secularism where you could see some daring scenes banditissime time on national networks and most of all I was reminded of my grandfather, who wondered why and Yugoslavia, which was the third world, had the color TV while we are not.
For this and many other reasons that there is someone you can tell me what to do tonight to Koper?
