The Granada analogue TV switchoff - are you affected?

[Andy Clough]

Today's the day that analogue TV gets turned off for good in the Granada region as part of the planned rollout of Freeview HD. Have you been affected? Let us know.

No Signal Message against several channels this morning (Sky News / Sky Sports News to name 2). Had to re-scan all the TVs. All fine after re-scan.

I had a letter from Virgin Media (Midlands) about a month ago saying they were switching off their analogue cable channels yesterday, and I should contact them to arrange to have digital installed. I did nothing, partly because it was weeks away (!), and also because I haven't been watching much TV for the last few months.

Last night, BBC2 and C5 had been replaced with a message about upgrading to digital. I haven't checked today, yet.

I would have expected a reminder, even an email as I am on e-billing. And couldn't they have waited until the new year before turning it off?

Retuned set top box and Sony HD recorder this morning but had to do it again this evening before I could get a programme. Yet to find out whether the HD recorder worked.
