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 fi nd out when your area switches to digital.
Digital UK is the independent, non-profi t 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:
To fi nd out how to re-tune your TV, see "Reconfi guring the DTV channel
settings" in the "Enjoying DTV broadcasts" section of the operating
instructions.
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
