Of course, but I'll reiterate what I said - that doesn't work if the equipment in question already IS a set top box or PVR. My (otherwise very capable) Humax DVB-T PVR would do precisely nothing at all if T2 became the default. My view is that there needs to be a very compelling reason to justify that kind of waste.
It'd be a bit like some bright spark in the Government deciding that from August all cars on UK roads will have to be automatics, and any cars with manual gearboxes will have to be scrapped. There might be a reason to support that if there was a good reason for it - one beyond "automatics have existed for at least 80 years and people have to get with the times" and "I like automatics because I have one and they are better and so everyone should have one too so that I feel better about my decision"... But until then... well, as I say, it seems hard to justify.
