Digital TV UK News: switchover in the Whitehaven area next month

With the UK getting its Digital TV roll out in stages all across the UK, it seems really interesting that the switchover in the Whitehaven area is next month and only 49% of residents surveyed know the exact date for switchover.

The body coordinating the switchover is called “Digital UK” and research that was conducted by GfK/NOP showed that 8 out of 10 homes in the Whitehaven area already have digital television (the 20% better hurry up).

Chief executive of Digital UK, Ford Ennals said: “Whitehaven is about to make broadcasting history. Nine years after the first digital TV signals began in the UK; the first analogue channel will be turned off. We will be on hand to offer last-minute help and support as switchover approaches, and to encourage as many people as possible to get the equipment they need in good time.”
