Analogue TV to be phased out by 2012
The government has decided that all TV reception in the UK will switch from analogue to digital by the end of 2012. Anyone who still has an analogue reception system after the switchover in their region will no longer be able to watch TV. When TV goes digital in your region will depend on where you live – in a few parts of the country it has already happened – but the change will really get going in 2009 (see map below).
