A TV set-top box manufacturer, TVonics, has advised UK consumers not to dump their TV sets as it further dampens the chances of environment betterment. As the UK plans to move to full digital broadcast, another 8 million TV sets are estimated to be sold this year, and with every purchase – an old one will be dumped.

This can be avoided as old TV sets can be converted to digital for less than £40, and adding a little more money can bring the program recording option. TVonics Director Andy Carr states:

It’s just madness to throw away perfectly good TVs when they have plenty of life left in them. The enormous publicity around digital switchover has meant that many people now wrongly believe they have to upgrade their entire television to get all the digital channels from Freeview. They could save themselves a fortune, and save the planet at the same time. All that’s required is a small Freeview box and you can access up to 40 channels of free digital television on any old TV. And with a digital TV recorder they can even build a library of up to 250 hours of their favorite shows.
