IMPORTANT NOTICE: DIGITAL SWITCHOVER AND YOUR TV

EQUIPMENT

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO ENJOY WATCHING TV DURING AND FOLLOWING DIGITAL SWITCHOVER

Starting in 2008* and ending in 2012, television services in the UK will go completely digital, TV region by TV region.

To continue using this digital TV equipment during and following digital switchover, you will need to re-tune your digital TV channels.Most digital viewers who have Freeview equipment must re-tune their digital box or television on at least 2 different occasions. Digital UK, the body leading digital TV switchover, and broadcasters will advise you when to re-tune on each occasion.

If you do not re-tune your equipment, you risk losing some or all of your TV services during and following switchover.

Please refer to the instruction manual supplied with your digital TV equipment for help with re-tuning channels. Some manufacturers refer to re-tuning as “rescanning” channels or “reinstalling”.

Please note that in order to receive the maximum number of available TV services on your equipment you must re-tune channels, not “add” channels.

For more information about this, please contact your equipment supplier or visit www.digitaluk.co.uk.

*With the exception of Whitehaven in Cumbria and the surrounding area which will switchover in October 2007.
