Help at hand as digital TV switchover approaches

WITH about 250,000 households needing to take action before next October if they want to keep a TV signal, several rural organisations are getting involved in providing information and knowledge to assist with the switchover.

Through the national voluntary organisation, the Wheel, Irish Rural Link, Age Action Ireland, GAA Social Initiative, the Irish Farmers Association, ICMSA, and the National Network of Community Services projects will be involved.

Anyone who currently relies on an aerial to watch TV will have to be ready for digital TV by October 24.
