Britain is continuing the process of switching from analogue TV signals to digital, with the switchover currently in progress in the Scottish broadcasting region STV North which covers some of the most remote areas of the British Isles, including the Shetland Islands and the Great Glen.
The switchover began in the region in early May, and has already been completed by the Bressay and Keelyland Hill transmitter groups, which serve the Shetlands and Orkney Islands respectively.
The process is currently underway in the Rumster Forest regions, and will begin with the Eitshal regions. It is expected that the switchover will be fully completed in the STV North region before the end of the year.
The digital switchover began in Britain in 2007, and the government aims to have the country’s analogue signal completely switched off by 2012. The switchover process involves replacing the analogue channels with free-to-air digital TV and radio services, i.e. Freeview.
Around 20 per cent of Britain has already been converted to the digital TV signal; north-west England, Wales, the West Country and the Border region. The other regions in England and Wales, as well as in Scotland and Northern Ireland, will be switched over to the digital signal by the end of 2012.
The digital switchover is arguably the biggest technological project currently running in the UK, and in many areas the switchover has been aided by the work of SCC International.
