You can get it right now. The switchover simply means that if you don't have a digital television or set top box to convert an analog television you won't get anything after 20 April andyou will lose bbc2 from the 6th.----- Original Message ----- From: "william lomas" <will.d.lomas@xxxxxxxxx>

BUt that's what is confusing me Ian :)
Will the switchover for everying be on september six, or just for bbc 2 and then rest to follow? If that is the case I guess I won't here in the midlands get full service even with the RNIB box until april 20? I just don't want to waste my money on thge box yet if I am not going to hardly get any channels

You may be able to take these results with a rather large pinch of salt. When we bought our digital television, the man who helped us install it was very surprised that we got any digital channels as our postcode was not supposed to receive any. You may find you will receive more before the switchover than the website tells you.

OK when I do a coverage check here is what I get:

Good news. You should be able to receive the most popular Freeview channels now and the entire service after the digital switchover. Digital switchover is happening in your region on 6 April 2011 and 20 April 2011. This means that you need to make sure all your TVs are ready for digital.

No you would get them now. What happens is that when the analog services are switched off, the power of the digital transmitters will be increased so that people who now get a poor digital signal will find it much better. ----- Original Message ----- From: "william lomas" <will.d.lomas@xxxxxxxxx>

Oh hang on. so if I got a freeview box now could I get all the channels on the six april? or, do I have to wait until the 20 as you said that's when everything else switches?

no, if you had a freeview box you would get the full service right now. I don't have a television myself, but from what I understand, digital sets will have to be re-tuned when BBc2 goes entirely digital, and again when everything else goes entirely digital. I guess you must get your television from the Rekin transmitter. The sutton coldfield transmitter switches in September. ----- Original Message ----- From: "william lomas" <will.d.lomas@xxxxxxxxx>

Sorry guys not sure what happened with my last message.

I assume then I have to wait until the 20th april to get full service?

Am going to get the freeview talking box I never watch half of my sky channels now.
