The Digital Switchover is currently taking place throughout the UK, and FirstLine Digital is a preferred installer for the Digital Switchover Help Scheme for the BBC.

The first digital switchover took place in Whitehaven Cumbria November 2007 and by 2012 the rest of the UK will have switched over to digital as this is when the existing analogue signal will be turned off and replaced with a digital signal.

The exact date at which your home switches to digital will depend on where you live in the UK – see the Digital UK website for full details.

All households with a Freeview TV or box will need to re-tune at both stages of switchover and from time to time to keep receiving channels and services

When preparing for the switchover in your area, you should have a think about all of the TV equipment you have in your own home such as tv’s, recorders and your aerial.

FirstLine Digital is a preferred installer for the Digital Switchover Help Scheme for the BBC and we are carrying out digital TV installation and digital switchover upgrades across the Country.
