The BBC2 channel’s analogue signal was to be switched off from around 2:00 am (0100 GMT) Wednesday in the northwest English resort of Whitehaven, affecting 25,000 households. The other analogue channels will be switched off on November 14.

Region by region, Britain is switching to digital broadcasting, due to be completed by 2012.

Every television set must be connected to satellite, cable or broadband transmissions, though the majority are already signed up to such services
