DIGITAL SWITCHOVER


The Ferryside relay is also unique because it was chosen as the site of the UK's experimental Switchover trial, and as such became the first UK TV transmitter to be converted to Digital 1, turning off the old Analogue TV signal. At the end of 2004, the relay was equipped to provide the four primary DTT multiplexes (Multiplex 1, 2, A and B) and after a three month period, all local residents were given Freeview boxes.23 Three of the four analogue services were switched off at midnight on 30th March 2005.

( BBC2 analogue remains on due to the differing content of the BBC2W digital service.)
