My Switch
• My Switch is a tool that provides information about the Digital Switchover

• For each area it provides information about coverage/signal strength
• Can be used in combination with the indicative channel plan
What’s next?Implementation (restack) stage
• Project Implementation Manager (PIM) has been appointed.
• A small number of sites have already been restacked.
• Major work is planned to start in Q2 2013.
• Restack required to be finished by December 31, 2014.
• About 400 sites need to be restacked.
Implementation – key objectives
• To complete project by the end of 2014
• To minimise disruptions to viewers• E.g. to minimise the number of times the viewers need to retune their
receivers
• Order in which sites are restacked is sometimes determined by interference limitations
