The Digital Switchover and FreeView
Not all aerials are capable of receiving signals effectively from a digital transmitter, if you have an old outdated aerial or are in a poor reception area such as Loughborough, you may not be prepared for the digital switchover. During the next few years, the UK is switching over from analogue to digital transmissions, this means the old analogue transmission will end. If your aerial is old, of poor quality or miss-aligned, chances are you will suffer issues picking up a digital transmission. In addition to this, you may also not be aware you will require a digital receiver set top box (FreeView), or a TV with in built FreeView tuner.
In the Loughborough area, supplied by the Waltham transmitter, the switching over to digital will happen in 2011, so make sure you are prepared, or you will be unable to view a signal on your TV.
Connell Communications can test your current aerial for strength and quality, check you have provisions for receiving a digital signal and provide a helpful service to explain how your FreeView digital receiver operates. We can provide experience and information on how to use your current equipment, and help you to make the switch today so you are prepared come the switch over time.
