DIGITAL SWITCHOVER AND YOUR TV EQUIPMENT
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO ENJOY WATCHING TV DURING AND FOLLOWING DIGITAL
SWITCHOVER
Starting in 2008* and ending in 2012, television services in the UK will go completely digital, TV region
by TV region.
To continue using this digital TV equipment during and following digital switchover, you will need to
“reset” your digital TV channels.
Users of this digital TV product must reset their channels on at least 2 different occasions, normally 1
month apart when switchover happens. Digital UK, the body leading digital TV switchover, and
broadcasters will advise you when to reset your channels on each occasion.
If you do not reset your channels, you risk losing some or all of your TV services during and following
switchover.
Please refer to the instruction manual supplied with your digital TV equipment for help with resetting
channels. Some manufacturers refer to resetting channels as “rescanning” channels or “retuning”.
Please note that in order to receive the maximum number of available TV services on your equipment
you must “reset” channels, not “add” channels.
For more information about this, please contact your equipment supplier or visit
