2011 switch-overs start today at Sandy Heath, Nottingham
Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV Hardly a Wednesday from today until Wednesday 23rd November 2011 will not involve a step in the UK digital switchover.
From today. You will need to retune your Freeview box if you use the Sandy Heath or Nottingham transmitter. You MAY find that old equipment will no longer work - TVs and boxes that do not support the 8k-mode.
If you use the
Dallington Park, Kimpton or Luton relay transmitters, you will no longer be able to watch BBC TWO on analogue from today, but you should be able now to use a Freeview box to watch ALL BBC services (apart from the two HD channels).
If you use Sandy Heath don't forget that you will need use a wideband aerial after switchover is complete on Wednesday, 13th April 2011 if you want to watch the commercial multiplexes. Sandy Heath is unusual in this respect.

I live in Essex and retuned my TV today. I am now receiving BBC1 from East Anglia rather than London as I was before. How can I return to getting BBC London news?

Karen: The simple solution is probably to run the automatic tuning scan and unplug the aerial at 30%.

Eugenia Alexis.Is this the BBC2 analogue you're referring to that you lost.The answer is it was forever switched off in the early hours of yesterday morning and in under two weeks time BBC1,ITV1,C4,C5 analogue will all too be forever switched off.
