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 the next page to find out when your area
switches to digital.
Digital UK is the independent, non-profit organisa-
tion 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-tuner your TV in order to continue receiving your
existing TV channels, and also to pick up new ones.
