D-Day's here

D-DAY has arrived in Guernsey - the day when the island is set to go digital.

From today, the analogue signal has been turned off and replaced by a digital one. As long as TVs are equipped to pick up the signal, viewers will receive 15 TV channels.

It also means that people with old DVD recorders or VCRs will be able to record only the channel they are watching.

At 1am this morning the analogue signal was switched off and VCRs and DVD recorders, which are analogue, do not have the right components to pick up the digital signal.

'The long-term answer is to get a digital recorder, which can record something else to what you are watching,' said Digital UK adviser David Farwick.
