The digital
TV switch over.
Television
services in the UK are digital TV region by TV region, by 2012. The digital TV
switch over is happening so that Freeview services (digital TV through an
aerial) can be extended to people who can’t currently get them.
Digital UK
is the not-for-profit organization responsible for leading the TV switch over. They’re
independent, which means that all the advice and information give is unbiased.
When to re-tune?
