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 above 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. Keep this important information about
how to re-tune your TV during the digitalTV switchover
How to re-tune:
As new services are broadcast it will be necessary to retune the television in order to view them. Auto tuning will
