Tomorrow sees the start of Dundee and Tayside's digital switchover, with relay transmitters like Tay Bridge (that serves much of the West End as well as the City Centre, Craigiebank and much of Broughty Ferry and North East Fife) starting to transmit Freeview for the first time.Additionally, analogue BBC2 will be switched off and existing Freeview viewers (who get signals from the main transmitter at Tealing - called 'Angus') should do a complete re-scan as there are alterations to Freeview transmissions at switchover.
In a fortnight - 18th August - the last analogue signals are removed and Freeview viewers should undertake a second channels re-scan. Sky, Freesat and Virgin cable viewers are unaffected throughout.
I have spoken with very many constituents in recent months about digital switchover issues - I am particularly anxious that elderly residents are given the fullest assistance, and if I can be of any help to any West End resident, do please call me on Dundee 459378 or e-mail tvswitch@frasermacpherson.org.uk.
