Need help with the UK Digital Switchover?

The UK Digital Switchover is well under way. By the end of 2012, BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 will stop broadcasting on standard analogue TV.

To watch TV after your region switches, you'll need to have a digital set-top box or a TV set that has a built-in digital TV receiver.
