The first part of digital switchover has taken place in the north west. Overnight the analogue BBC2 signal was switched off at the Winter Hill transmitter, which transmits television to around 7 million people. The transmitter's 70 relays will loose BBC2 either today or tomorrow.

Jo Waters, regional manager for Digital UK, said: “Almost half a million viewers in the North West will be able to get digital TV through their aerial for the first time. But even if you’ve had Freeview for a while, remember to retune your TVs and boxes when the signal comes back on.”

The second paet of switchover, when the remaining analogue channels are switched off, takes place on 2 December.
