TV digibox triggers 'SOS' rescue
The RAF Aeronautical Rescue Co-ordination Centre sent a coastguard helicopter to search for 'SOS' call Jan. 5 only to find that the signal came from a faulty TV digibox.
The helicopter spent two hours searching the harbour area. RAF spokesman Michael Mulford said the chances of sending out a signal from a digibox and sending out precisely and exactly on a major emergency channel are far more than 14 million to one.
