As part of the PARAS campaign we need to collect instances in which
vulnerable people have been ripped off as a result of the analogue
switch-off. These could be cases in which people have been conned into
buying an unneccessary aerial, buying a new TV rather than a set top box, or
subscribing to a pay-TV service in order to receive the basic channels.

If you have any examples of this sort of thing please post them here or
contact PARAS on the website. All incidents will remain completely
anonymous.

Bill, here's a thought: what about recycling STBs and what have you? I
seem to amass boxen that I end-up stowing somewhere, where all they do
is sleep cosily in their packing. I'm sure I'm not the only one in this
position, having surplus kit that could benefit the elderly/less
fortunate during the DSO, although I suppose what you have in mind isn't
a charity. However, I suspect that there's some HMG edict that stops
people passing on electrical kit on the grounds of safety issues.
