London switchover complete

The largest part of the switchover to digital television will be completed today (18 April) as the London TV region goes digital. Switchover information for viewers is available from Digital UK.
Nearly five million homes across Greater London and parts of the Home Counties – almost 12 million TV sets – will now benefit from extra channels and better picture quality.

It means almost 90 per cent of UK households will be covered, with the final switchover taking place in Northern Ireland on 24 October.
“The London switchover has been the biggest undertaken in the UK so far, with almost 12 million viewers now receiving a better picture quality, fantastic new channels and a range of exciting extra services, ” Communications Minister Ed Vaizey said.
