THE digital TV switchover in Oxfordshire and surrounding areas is complete, extending Freeview coverage to thousands of extra viewers.
We wish to thank everyone who helped to make the transition to digital television successful.
Retailers and installers, housing providers and an army of relatives, friends and good neighbours all played their part – as did local charities.
We would also like to thank viewers for their patience in the months leading up to switchover, when vital engineering work was completed.
Thousands of older and disabled people in the region have so far contacted the BBC-run Switchover Help Scheme to take up the practical help that’s been offered to them. Eligible people served by the Oxford transmitter group can still apply until October 28.
For information about Help Scheme eligibility you can phone 0800 408 5900 or visit helpscheme.co.uk.
If you need general advice about switchover you can still get in touch with Digital UK’s advice line on 08456 50 50 50, or visit digitaluk.co.uk.
