As the digital switchover date for the Oxfordshire area comes closer, we are getting more information from "Digital UK" about what will happen. The final date for the switchover has not yet been set but we know roughly how it will happen. At some point in 2011 (the exact date will probably be published in 2010) those people still watching analogue will see a message on their screen telling them that they will lose their signals in a few weeks. Then BBC2 and Channel 4 analogue will be turned off. The frequencies that this frees up will allow the new digital signals to start broadcasting. For the main Oxford transmitter this will just mean a change of frequency for the existing freeview services but for the smaller local transmitters this will be the first time they will transmit digital TV. There will be a few weeks before the broadcasters turn off BBC1 and ITV analogue. In these few weeks viewers will have to convert to digital or lose all their TV. This is going to be a manically busy time for us and the trade generally. (All leave cancelled!) Our installers report that although most customers now have digital TV at their main point, many have portable TVs in bedrooms etc that are still only showing analogue TV. If anyone has a TV which still only shows analogue TV it would be wise to get it running on digital sooner rather than later as there are going to be too many upgrades for us to do in the critical few weeks of 2011. We are happy to drop in to you free of charge to advise on what you will need to do to get all your TVs ready for the switchover.
