London TVs are changing to digital in April 2012
The old signal at Crystal Palace is being switched off and replaced with a new digital signal. This will happen in two stages:
4 April – BBC Two signal is switched off
18 April – BBC One, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 will be switched off
If you are not sure on how to change your tv for the switchover, there is help available:
HAVS – Hillingdon Association of Voluntary Services staff have been trained to give help and advice on the change over. www.hillingdonconnected.org.uk/Switchover-Help_Scheme
HAVS will be able to provide older and disabled people with everything they need to switch their TV to digital through the Switchover Help Scheme
Do you know someone who:
- Is aged 75 or over, OR
- Lives in a care home, OR
- Gets certain disability allowances, OR
