The UK has had digital TV for quite a few years now but decided on a different strategy to the US introducing standard definition digital TV to free up the spectrum for future services and so that the government could sell it off. Well today marks the start of the future for UK digital TV with a mass change in frequency to get ready for more channels and future digital terrestrial HD channels. So if you have a Freeview TV (the name of the UK standard based on DVB-T) or set-top-box then you need to go into your setup menus and retune it otherwise some of your channels may go missing. Most users will see a warning on their TV recommending they do so but some older box’s (I still have an original OnDigital – the original name for Freewiew), that did not show any warningor any instructions. You have been warned
