Television in the UK is going digital, bringing us all more choice
and new services. Starting in late 2007 and ending in 2012,
television services in the UK will go completely digital, TV region
by TV region.
Please see overleaf to find out when your area switches to digital.
Digital UK is the independent, non-profit organisation leading the
process of digital TV switchover in the UK. Digital UK provides
impartial information on what people need to do to prepare for
the move to digital, and when they need to do it.
How the switchover affects your
TV equipment:
Your new TV has a digital tuner built in, which means it is ready
to receive the Freeview signal by simply plugging it into
your aerial socket (check if you can get digital TV through your
aerial now, or whether you’ll have to wait until switchover,
at
www.digitaluk.co.uk
).
When the TV switchover happens in your area, there are at least
two occasions when you will need to re-tune your TV in order to
continue receiving your existing TV channels, and also to pick up
new ones. Digital UK, the body leading the digital TV switchover,
will advise you when you need to re-tune during the switchover.
If you choose to connect your TV to satellite or cable with a digital
box then it will not be affected by switchover, and you won’t need
to re-tune.
How to re-tune:
If you are missing any channels, it may be that they are not
available in your area, or that your aerial needs upgrading.
If you have any questions, please contact your
equipment supplier or call Digital UK on
0845 6 50 50 50
or visit
www.digitaluk.co.uk
To find out how to re-tune your TV, refer to “Auto Scan” on page 9.
