Digital switchover continues apace
Updated on 20 November 2008
Thousands of viewers woke up to digital television after the second stage of the first major switchover.
Stage one took place shortly after midnight on November 6 when analogue BBC Two was switched off in the Scottish Borders and replaced with BBC digital channels.
On Thursday, the remaining analogue channels in the region (BBC One, ITV1, Channel 4 and Five) were being replaced in digital format along with more public-service TV, radio and text services.
All terrestrial TV services were off air during the night and were expected to be restored in some areas by around 6am on Thursday morning. Areas served by relay transmitters will have the channels by the afternoon.
The rest of the UK will follow the same two-stage process, carried out transmitter by transmitter, until 2012.
The Borders switch is the first full-scale switch in the nationwide programme which will give viewers a greater choice of channels.
