Digital switchover

From April 2011, you will no longer be able to get analogue (or non-digital) tv.

This means you will have to switch to digital tv.

Please see the arrangements below if you get your tv through an aerial.

October 2010
The digital upgrade of its communal aerials to flats and maisonettes will be completed in October 2010. More than 10,000 properties will be ready for the switchover. The upgrades being completed by our partner Commercial Television Systems will conclude in the Dunkirk and Lenton Ward of the city.

December 2010
Properties receiving this upgrade will need to have their outlet plate fitted or risk not receiving a TV reception when our contract with Virgin Media is terminated in December.

30th March 2011
BBC Two will go to digital and some new digital channels become available.

This means that

• If you haven't switched, you'll lose BBC Two
• If you have Freeview, BT Vision or Top Up TV you'll need to re-tune your equipment

13th April 2011
All the remaining analogue channels will switch to digital and the remaining digital channels will become available.

This means that:

• If you haven't switched to digital, you will lose your TV service
• If you have Freeview, BT Vision or Top Up TV you'll need to re-tune your equipment again
