Digital Switchover for Terrestrial broadcasts

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 08456 50 50 50 or visit www.digitaluk.co.uk
Digital Switchover will cover a period of several weeks. When it starts you will lose all Analogue TV
channels and some Digital TV channels will be missing.
You will need to retune your TV each time this happens to recover your digital channels.

To retune your TV

Users of cable or satellite boxes should still retune the TV to continue to receive Freeview channels
via their aerial. (Your Analogue channel for viewing Cable or Satellite services will change to a new
position.)

Due to the digital reception technologies involved, quality of the digital signals may be relatively low in some ●
cases, despite good reception of analogue channels.

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 digital equipment, some on screen commands may
not correspond exactly to the remote control buttons.

For example:

When “select” or “go” is displayed ●

When “◄”, “►”, “▲”, “▼” symbol is displayed ●

When “back key” is displayed ●

Note

As soon as you switch to a digital channel with links to a teletext service, ●
software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function.
This means that when switching to a digital channel, 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 digital teletext, you will find 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.
