Digital Switchover Advice Sessions at CRiC
Monday 8th February 2010
In less than a month (3 March 2010) the Wenvoe transmitter group, which serves Crickhowell will start switching to digital television. Many of you will already be enjoying digital TV through your aerial (Freeview), via satellite, with cable in some areas or through broadband. However, it’s important to make sure every TV set and recorder that you plan to use after switchover is capable of working with digital signals.
Virtually all households will be able to receive around 20 of the most popular Freeview channels, as opposed to the five currently available on analogue TV. Many households will be able to receive more than 40 channels.
Information and help on switchover is available on the Digital UK website at
www.digitaluk.co.uk. Here you can find your options for switching to digital and check whether you live in an area that can currently receive digital television via an aerial. If you haven’t got a computer or access to the internet, information is also available on the phone. Simply call the Digital UK advice line on 08456 50 50 50. Welsh Language help and advice is available by calling 08458 48 48 48. Advisers will also be available between 11am and 2pm at the Crickhowell Resource & Information Centre on 11 February and 11 March 2010 to chat to anyone who needs advice over a cup of coffee.
