Just a quick reminder that the digital switchover is having stage 1 for the Sandy Heath transmitter today. Thats the transmitter that serves Cambridge.
What this means is that we lose BBC2 on analogue, but gain more digital services instead. To gain these you will need to return any terrestrial digital box or TV you have. More information is available from the Digital UK website. In particular they give a general guide on how to retune a digibox:
A full re-tune should only takes a few minutes and can be done with your remote control. Here are some guidelines for how to do it, but bear in mind every model of digital TV or box will be a little bit different.
Switch on your Freeview TV or box and press 'menu' on the remote control. Select the 'set up' or 'installation' option
Select 'full re-tune' option (sometimes called ‘first time installation’, 'factory reset' or 'default settings'). Selecting 'channel update' or 'add channels' will not fully clear old channels and enable new ones to be found
Press ‘OK’ if your equipment asks if you want to delete all your channels. Don't worry this is normal
If you are prompted for a code, try 0000 or 1234.
Channels will automatically be installed. This may take a few minutes and your equipment may shut down and restart
The second stage is in two weeks time on 13th April.
