Television in the UK is going digital, bringing us all more.  
Please see overleaf to find out when your area switches to digital.  
Digital UK is the independent, non-profit organisation 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-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.
