Thanks for the replies jb38 and Briantist. I'm getting asked a lot of questions re the switchover at work.
Can I ask one more?
I'v heard that some devices at switchover will prompt for a re-tune?
i.e Click OK to reset your TV and perform a full system reset.
If this is true, do you know where I could find a list of devices that will do this?
Regards

My freeview stopped working on Sunday. The picture on all of the freeview channels is very bright.
The picture is fine with the analogue channels and with movies played through a PC.
What could be causing this?
My postcode is SW9 9PE
