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.
