get set for digital

How the digital switchover may affect you:

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.

The map shows when your area will switchover to digital. When the TV switchover happens in your area, there are at least two occasions when you will need to re-tune your unit 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.

For re-tuning instructions for this unit please see page 38 of this instruction manual.

If you find you can't receive the extra digital channels, it may be because your area is not covered by Freeview yet or that you need an aerial upgrade.
