NI Prepares For Digital Switch-Over
The UK-wide digital switch-over is nearing completion and an information campaign to help people switch over to digital TV is being launched in Northern Ireland.
There are just six months left until the analogue terrestrial TV services for around 650,000 NI households will start being switched off.
The digital TV switchover is the process of turning off the UK's analogue TV signal and replacing it with a digital signal.
Digital UK and the Switchover Help Scheme will support viewers across the region as they prepare for the change that is charged with being the biggest move in TV for a generation.
Denis Wolinski, Digital UK Regional Manager for Northern Ireland, said: "We are starting the final countdown to a fully digital TV system for Northern Ireland. The benefits will be felt by hundreds of thousands of viewers who will be able to receive free to air digital TV via an aerial for the first time. Over the coming months we will be making plenty of information available and working with the Switchover Help Scheme to ensure viewers know where to turn for advice."
The changes have been rolled out across the UK with many areas already fully digital.
Northern Ireland, the north east, London and the south east are the final regions getting the big switch.
