Digital TV Switchover
Redruth Transmitter area- Most of Lizard Peninsular
The Redruth transmitter and its 17 relays (known as a transmitter group) switch to digital in two stages. If you have Sky TV, Freesat from Sky or freesat on all of your TV sets you will not be affected by switchover.
However, if you haven't yet got digital TV in your home or you have a service like Freeview, BT Vision or Top Up TV, there are two dates you will need to remember and you need to be ready before the first switchover date.
Two dates you need to remember
Stage 108/07/2009

Stage 1
BBC Two will go to digital and some new

you’ll lose BBC Two
•If you have Freeview, BT Vision
or Top Up TV you’ll need to re-tune your equipment
Stage 2
The remaining analogue channels will switch to digital and the remaining digital channels will become available. This means that:
• If you haven’t switched to digital, you will lose your TV service
•If you have Freeview, BT Vision or Top Up TV you’ll need to re-tune your equipment again
