Digital Switchover

The Digital switchover will be happening in your area, but do you really know what that means?

The switchover will happen in two stages to give you the chance to check your equipment. It's likely you will have to do something at both stages, but it is important you are ready by stage one.

Step 1

At stage one, the analogue BBC Two signal is switched off & Freeview extends to reach all areas for the first time. This means that:

  • If you don't have a digital tuner built into your TV, or a digital receiver such as a set-top box, you'll lose BBC Two.
  • If you have Freeview, Top Up TV or BT Vision you'll need to install or re-tune your equipment.
  • If you have Sky TV, Virgin Media, Tiscali, Freesat from Sky or freesat on all your TV sets, you will not be affected by the switchover.

Step 2

At stage two, the rest of the analogue channels are switched off and the remaining Freeview channels become available in all areas for the first time. This means that:

  • If you haven't switched to digital, you will lose your TV channels.
  • If you have Freeview, Top Up TV or BT Vision you’ll need to re-tune your equipment again.
  • If you have Sky TV, Virgin Media, Tiscali, Freesat from Sky or freesat on all your TV sets, you will not be affected by the switchover.

When is it happening?
