TV Digital Switchover dates announced

The exact dates when the analogue TV signals will be turned off in the Whitehaven Television area have now been announced.

The Whitehaven TV area covers most of Copeland, with the exception of areas around Lowca, St Bees, and in the south of the borough. Any terrestial TV taking it's signal from the Bigrigg transmitter or one of those parented on it such as Gosforth will be affected when the TV signal switches over from Analogue to Digital this autumn.

It has now been confirmed that BBC2 will switch over from analogue to Digital signals in the Whitehaven area on 17th October 2007. Over the following month everyone will be able to check that their digital eqipment such as set-top boxes actually works - if you can receive BBC2 after 17th October, your digital equipment is working.

The other terrestial channels will switch over to digital, and the analogue signal will be switched off, on 14th November.

From 14th November, no Television or TV equipment which is not digital capable will be able to receive or record a signal without a set-top box in the Whitehaven TV area.

If you are buying any new television equipment, and want it to work in the area after 14th November without a set-top box, make sure it has the Digital logo (the work Digital followed by a tick in a box.)

I am interested to read your comments on this shocking Labour Government and the sleezy way its has operated.
At present and on a great many Internet news and blog sites,there is a lot of talk about Lord Levy,"cash for honours" and now we hear that this young American Courtney Coventry seems to have a lot of hot information on the subject. Ofcourse,one can not help but admire her for coming such a long way to spill the beans,ofcourse you have to be stunned by her pictures,BUT,why for heavens sake,do we have to have a young girl called Courtney travel all this distance, as I am sure there are many people in the Labour party,who could and should come forward with information..But don't have the guts.!!!
