Region turns on digital stations
Wednesday 4th November 2009, 10:27AM GMT.
More than 24,000 homes in parts of Powys switched to digital TV today.
Households in Newtown, Llandinam and Llanidloes will now be able to receive digital TV through their aerial for the first time.
A new digital signal is being made available from Long Mountain in Welshpool and will be broadcasting the full range of BBC channels in digital form.
And residents are being reminded to retune their digital equipment to pick up the channels.
Emyr Hughes, Digital UK’s national manager for Wales, said: “The switchover is under way and many people are receiving Freeview channels for the first time.
“We’re now encouraging viewers who still don’t have the necessary equipment to get ready in time for December 3, when all the analogue channels will be permanently switched off.”
For help retuning your Freeview box call 08456 50 50 50.
