DIGITAL SWITCHOVER
DSO was completed in October 2012. There will continue to be minor tweaks to the system and stations will come and go, as seems to be the way of things these days, so it remains a good idea to carry out retunes from time-to-time.
If you are waiting for stations like Dave or Yesterday to be added to your local transmitter don't hold your breath, it's not going to happen. If you want greater choice you should consider getting a satellite dish and either a Freesat or Sky box.
Here, for reference purposes, is the timetable which DSO followed:
