Default The digital switchover- 30th September 2009

Quote:
As part of the push towards the big digital switchover, on Wednesday 30th September 2009, improvements are being made to your Freeview* service.

This means that if you don't retune your Freeview TV or box, recorder or PC card after
midday on the 30th, you won't be able to watch some stations, including Five.

You will also need to retune any video recorders that you use to record digital services from Freeview.
Just got this email (Cutting it fine eh!)....

The digital switchover has been a long time coming I think... nearly there now though.

So guys- if your TV's stop working properly- you know what's up lol.

Oh right.

Cheers for clarifying Mark.

Never realised. Must just be my area's turn then I guess.

2012 is the last switch Mark! ours being done already but retune happens on the 30th as ALL the digital signals are then boosted up to full power they have been on for years hence the freeview boxes being out, but the signals were never on full.
