The End Of Analogue TV Begins
TV Viewers in Copeland and Whitehaven areas will officially begin their switchover to all digital TV in the early hours of Wednesday 17th October.
Viewers will initially experience the switch off of analogue BBC2 through their aerials, followed shortly by the switching on the digital multiplex carrying BBC1, BBC2, BBC Three, BBC News 24 & CBBC. The remaining analogue stations will be switched off over the following 4 weeks and by 14th November residents in the Copeland area will have access to around 20 of the most popular Freeview channels.
Digital UK have made the area aware of the switchover via various media campaigns and there is a financial help scheme to help people with the switch to digital. There are also Digital Help Centres, running this week, for anyone needing advice.
