Digital Switchover For Cumbria
The final phase of the switchover to digital television has just taken place in Cumbria, England.
The process started a month ago in the south of the county and now, all viewers will need a television with a built-in tuner or a set-top box because the signal is fully digital.
In November 2007, the coastal town of Whitehaven became the first area of the UK to go completely digital.
Last summer, the analogue signal was turned off for the most of the population, excepting the Winter Hill transmitter in the south.
According to Digital UK, who coordinates the service's roll-out, people should re-tune their equipment to ensure they receive all channels.
At first, the updated signal may not reach some parts, but all channels should have been available by early evening on Wednesday.
