Administrative / biographical background

The Digital Television website is a joint-government website between the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and its successors the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS).

The website provides information about digital television matters and developments, including the digital switchover in the UK, involving switching-off the analogue terrestrial transmissions network and replacing it with an all-digital terrestrial network. The Government is responsible for the policy of digital switchover, including the 2008-2012 timetable and the establishment of a Help Scheme for those who may need practical assistance with switchover. Between 2008- 2012, television services in the UK will go completely digital, TV region by TV region (the exception is Whitehaven in Cumbria which became the first place to switch in October 2007).
