Raw deal ends as Theresa tunes in

Theresa O’Brien’s TV is back on the air, finally

A PENSIONER’S TV setwas broken for almosttwo months after she‘‘went digital’’, but fixedhours after the NT Newsrevealed her plight.

Theresa O’Brien hadbeen unable to watchHawthorn AFL matchesor her favourite showDeal or No Deal since Ap-ril, when she called thenumber on a FederalGovernment pamphletabout digital switchover.

The screen on the four-month-old flatscreen wasblank after the contrac-tor ‘‘switched’’ her fromanalogue to digital. Andit remained that way.

But after a page 9 storyyesterday, a technician

called to her Rapid Creekhome in Darwin andbrought the world backto her living room within90 minutes.

‘‘I’m ecstatic — I’ve gotTV,’’ the 65-year-old said.

‘‘It’s beautiful.‘‘The first technician

did a bodgy job. He put ina wrong antenna.

‘‘Thank you NT News.If it wasn’t for you, noth-ing would’ve happened.

‘‘I wonder how manyother people out thereare without TV.’’

The Digital SwitchoverTaskforce had failed toanswer NT News ques-tions since Tuesday butsaid yesterday it neededmore time to respond.
