Hundreds of viewers can find out more about Tavistock's switch to digital television as the Digital UK Switchover Roadshow rolls into town next week.

As part of its 13-week tour of the West Country TV region, the team will visit the car park at Morrison's in Tavistock on Friday September 26 and Saturday September 27, offering practical advice on how to get set for digital.

After Tavistock, the roadshow will head into Cornwall during October. Visitors will have the opportunity to:

l Find out when switchover is happening and the options for going digital

l Learn how older and disabled people can get a TV converted by the Switchover Help Scheme

l Put general or technical questions to Digital UK's specially trained advisors.

Tavistock will switch to digital television on Wednesday August 12 2009. The town is served by the Caradon Hill transmitter group which also provides signal to Plymouth, parts of Devon and East Cornwall.

Bill Taylor, South West regional manager at Digital UK said: 'The whole of the West Country TV region, covering more than one million households, will have switched to digital in less than a year's time.

'This is a great opportunity for people to meet the team from Digital UK, find out how to prepare and learn what help is available.'
