As the digital switchover continues to roll out throughout the UK, there are increasing concerns that many households will be caught by surprise.

The Granada region is the next to benefit from this historical event and it is vital that this region makes the switchover now - rather than be left with lots of blank TV screens.

Having their TV Aerial checked to make sure it is a compatible TV Aerial for digital is one way to make sure everything is up to date. And if it's not, a simple upgrade of your TV Aerial can be easily carried out to make sure you still have a TV picture once that button is pressed.

We always offer this service to all of our customers so that we can ensure you don't end up paying for anything you don't need whilst ensuring you have the correct TV equipment to have a smooth transition into digital!

If you'd like to ask us any questions, or would like to arrange for us to come and check your TV Aerial - call us now on 0800 3899025 we look forward to hearing from you.

As we wait for the Digital Switchover to happen over the next few years throughout the UK, it's good to know we're not the only ones making sure our TV viewing equipment is all up to date.

Over the atlantic our American cousins are also waiting for their TV's to be updated to digital. From Friday 4th September, stations across the country are permanently switching off their analogue signal. This switchover has caused panic across the US causing a last-minute surge to buy new TV's and set-top-boxes to convert to digital.

This has left fears that over two million American households are going to be sitting in front of a blank screen once the switchover occurs.

Of course, there won't be enough new TV's and Set top boxes to fulfil everyone's need at this late stage, so I suppose some people are just going to have to go without for a little while. This just shows the importance of being prepared for the digital switchover.

Our advice to you is to check when the switchover is coming to your area and leave plenty of time to ensure your TV Aerial, Television Set and other viewing equipment is going to work after the switchover has taken place.

If you're not sure, just give us a call at Action Aerials on 0800 389 9025 and we'll be happy to help in any way we can.
