DIGITAL TELEVISION
Calling Broadmayne residents watching ˜Meridian™ television
Some households receiving ITV Meridian TV and BBC South will be affected by changes in March this year. This is part of the preparations for Digital Switchover and involves changes to the Rowridge (IOW) transmitter. If you receive analogue TV through an aerial or have a satellite receiver there will be no changes, however
If you already receive digital TV through a digital television or a ˜digibox™ (Freeview, Top-Up TV or BT Vision) you will have to retune your equipment on 25th March as existing channels will have moved to new frequencies.
Full Digital Switchover for Meridian/South is in 2012.
