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 overleaf to find out when your area switches to digital. Digital UK is the independent, non-profit organisation leading the process of igital 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.

How to re-tune:
As Digital Switchover nears your area, you should receive further details, via post, from Digital UK.
Digital Switchover will cover a period of several weeks.
When it starts you will lose all Analogue TV channels and some Digital TV channels will be missing.
You will need to retune your TV each time this happens to recover your digital channels.


Press “Source” or “Input” on the remote control
Select “DTV” station

• If you do not re-tune your channels when advised to do so by Digital UK, you may lose some or all of your channels until you do re-tune.
• You should re-tune your TV every few months to check for any new channels.
• For more detailed explanation refer to your Operating Instruction Book 'Tuning hannels'
  

If you are missing any channels, it may be that they are not available in your area, or that your aerial needs upgrading.
