Digital Switchover
Starting in late 2007 and ending in 2012, TV services in the UK will go completely
digital, TV region by TV region.
If you have any questions, please call Digital UK on
or visit
Digital Switchover will cover a period of several weeks. When it starts you will lose
all Analogue TV programmes and some Digital TV programmes will be missing.
You will need to retune your TV each time this happens to recover your digital
programmes.
•
Cable or Satellite users should still retune the TV to continue to receive Freeview
services via their aerial. (Your Analogue programme for viewing Cable or Satellite
services will change to a new position.)
Due to the digital reception technologies involved, quality of the DTV signals may be relatively low in some cases,
•
despite good reception of analogue programmes.

DVB teletext services
DVB teletext services differ greatly from analogue teletext.
When you switch to a DVB teletext service, the images
you see can contain graphics and text, laid out and
controlled in a manner decided by the broadcaster.
You can check if the programme
•
has teletext service.

How to use
In all cases, it is possible to navigate the pages using buttons on the
remote control, but because the commands available must apply to all
manufacturers of DVB equipment, some on screen commands may
not correspond exactly to the remote control buttons.

Note
As soon as you switch to a DVB programme with links to a teletext service,
•
software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function.
This means that when switching to a DVB programme, you should wait for
approximately 5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button - this will allow
the software to download. If you press the TEXT button before download is
complete, there will be a short delay before the text screen is displayed.
While navigating DVB teletext, you will fi nd there is a short delay when
•
moving between pages while the page downloads. There is often a prompt
shown somewhere on the page (for example “Loading”) to let you know that
this is happening.
