Between 2007 and 2012 television services in the United Kingdom will be “switched over” from your old television broadcast signal (known as “analogue”) to a digital signal. After 2012, all television in the UK will be digital.
Any TV set or video recorder that’s not converted to digital when the switchover takes place will no longer receive TV programmes. There will be a Help Scheme available if you are aged 75 years old or over or you or a member of your household are disabled and getting certain social security benefits.
Factsheet F52 - help with the digital switchover is a basic introduction to the help available with the digital switchover. You can find out more information on the help available for disabled people in Disability Rights UK's Disability Rights Handbook, available to buy at www.radar-shop.org.uk/.
All our publications are available at www.disabilityalliance.org/shop.htm. You can also place an order by contacting Disability Rights UK on 020 7247 8776 (this is not an advice line) or by fax on 020 7247 8765. All our factsheets are available at www.disabilityalliance.org/fact.htm.
