Mr. Steen: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport when digital terrestrial television will be available
throughout Totnes constituency, with particular reference to (a) Blackawton and (b) Halwell. [196947]
Estelle Morris: Due to the topography of the land and technical constraints on Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) transmissions
from the Beacon Hill transmitter, digital terrestrial services are not predicted to be available to viewers in Blackawton and
Halwell before Switchover.
The Government are committed to ensuring that at Switchover everyone who can currently receive the main public service broadcasting
channels on analogue will be able to do so on digital systems.
No firm dates for Switchover have been set, but current discussions suggest that Switchover could start to happen as early as 2007
and be completed by 2012.
