In April, this area will be switching over to all digital TV broadcasts. The old 'analog' broadcasts will be switched off. If you have not already switched over, now is the time to start thinking about it. Some people will need help with the switchover, and we are trying to make sure that nobody, especially the vulnerable, gets left behind. The BBC has a help scheme to assist everyone in making the switch. Do you have any questions? Would you like some help? Do you know someone else who may need help from this scheme? Contact Don Page for (free) information. Tel: 01494 446467.
