With 100 days to go to one of the biggest changes in television viewing history - the digital switchover - households in Shropshire have been urged to get set for the end of analogue TV.
Digital UK is urging viewers to get ready for April 6, 2011, when analogue television will start to be turned off at the Wrekin transmitter which beams signals to viewers in north Shropshire.
South Shropshire viewers who receive their signal from Ridge Hill will switch on the same dates. All analogue signals will be turned off by April 20.
People who pick up signals from Sutton Coldfield, including parts of south east Shropshire, will switch over between September 7 and 21.
Latest research indicates that most viewers are well prepared, with eight out of ten households in the county already having made the switch to digital TV.
Those still watching in analogue are now being advised to get ready for switchover.
