Digital switchover saves man's life
Robert Monsarrat, 86, told the Memphis Commercial Appeal he was watching "Oprah Winfrey" in his kitchen instead of his bedroom Friday because the only television that gets a digital signal is in the kitchen. The storm brought a large red oak down on the house.
"I was curled up in the fetal position under the rubble when they dug me out," he said.
Monsarrat escaped without serious injuries. The story would likely have had a very different ending if he had received the digital converter box for the set in his bedroom, which was destroyed by the tree.

man saved by switchover to cable television
The bloke who was saved when a tree fell on his house whilst he was in the kitchen instead of being in the bedroom can thank his lucky stars .At least he didnt get square eyes like were all told we would when we were children for watching too much tv.
