The last UK VHF 405 line Broadcast

Hey Guys

As I believe is already happening over the pond with NTSC the UHF Pal transmission system is being switched off starting this year and finishing in 2012. Over here the same thing happened with the Black and White VHF system just over 25 years ago. This clip shows its final moments..

God Save our Gracious Queen........

I'll bet most Americans and all Brits recognize that "theme song" at the end of the broadcast. But as different things..........




OK sorry to hijack, but I have just had an epiphany, I knew I recognized the anthem at the end of that BBC Broadcast, but WOW!

I always thought "My Country 'tis of Thee" was much nicer than our actual Natiohal Anthem. I guess I now know fully WHY it isn't..........
