Digital TV is coming to our area between October and December 2009. By then everyone will need digital to continue to view.

Landlords have got a big part to play in making sure local people are ready for the big switchover. We’ve taken this responsibility very seriously. We have:

  • upgraded properties that share communal aerials
  • reminded tenants about the changes - on this website and in regular newsletters
  • advised people on the various ways to access digital TV
  • consulted residents to find the best ways to get the message out

We even have our own digital champions; a special support and advice service to help with any questions or worries you have about the switchover.

Doing a good job

Digital UK, the not-for-profit company responsible for leading the UK's switchover from analogue to digital TV, recognised our achievements by awarding us ‘digital accreditation’ – their official recognition of a landlord that’s doing a good job.
