Carl Sargeant AM Raises Awareness of the Digital Switchover Help Scheme
On the 28th of October 2009 the TV service in the Alyn & Deeside area will be switching to Digital and the existing analogue TV signal will be switched off, to keep your TV service residents will need to convert their TV’s to digital, if they haven’t already done so.
Carl Sargeant AM for Alyn & Deeside is aiming to raise awareness in the area that help, advice and financial assistance is available to help people convert their TV to digital. To qualify for assistance residents have to be aged 75 or over, or have lived in a care home for six months or more, or get (or could get) certain disability benefits, or are registered blind or partially sighted.
Carl Sargeant AM for Alyn & Deeside said
“I am aware that many people, particularly the elderly may find the switchover to digital, to be confusing and I am raising awareness that the Government has set up a help scheme for those who need the most assistance to switch to digital. The help scheme will assist people who qualify for help to switch one of their TV sets to digital. If residents are in need of help, they will explain digital TV to you clearly and simply. They can install what you need in your home and make sure you're happy with how it all works.”
