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:

1 Press "HOME" on the remote
2 Press G/g to select "Settings"
3 Press F/f to select "Set-up", then press
4 Press F/f to select "Digital Set-up", then press
5 Press F/f to select "Digital Tuning", then press
6 Press F/f to select "Digital Auto Tuning", then press
7 Follow the on screen instructions.

If you are missing any channels, it may be that they are not available in your area, or that your aerial
needs upgrading.
