Report of the Digital Television Project

I have today published the Report of the Digital Television Project which sets out advice to Government on the process of digital switchover. The Report is the culmination of nearly three years work by broadcasters, regulators and industry working with Government and other stakeholders. The Report sets out a detailed strategy for achieving digital switchover and will help inform Government decisions about how and when to proceed with digital switchover.

There are still important questions that need to be resolved before we can announce the final timetable for switchover. We are currently working with the BBC to assess the scope of assistance schemes to help vulnerable consumers through switchover. We will only confirm the timetable once all remaining issues relating to digital switchover are resolved and we are satisfied that the interests of consumers, especially the most vulnerable, are well protected.

Copies of the Report of the Digital Television Project have been placed in the Library.
