Interesting West Country is one of the first. They can't even get DAB working properly down there yet - and surely Freeview doesn't work in the most remote parts of the region. An interesting choice.
The HTV West region also has some oddities, including no coverage for the majority of Bath.

Is this just the switch off of anologue ITV, or does it include the BBC, C4 and C5 too ?

Too slow Ofcom. Bearing in mind that roughly 99% of the country is already capable of getting digital tv signal (DSat) keeping analouge on until 2012 is a total cop out.
Ofcom and Switch-co should have aimed for 31/12/2008 total switch off.
And just to ram the digital message home to the non-wanters, a £50 levy should be added to the TV licence from next year on every home/tv without a digital receiver.

I think he MIGHT have been, but it doesn't stop me agreeing with nearly all he says.
Not sure about the £50 levy, but the rest is exactly in line with what I've been saying on here for some years.
Digitum extractum, Ofcom!

I'm sure they'll find something else that's suitable to squirt down the fibre to St Helier in the next six years that they've got to think about it.

Hah!! Notice the cynical take on the "London is everything" obsession these groups have.
London usually gets everything *first*. Now they're the *last* to be shut off. Isn't that just typical -- let the grunts out in the sticks get the worst of the bad side of the switchover, and then by the time the Chelsea brigade have to turn their TVs off the system will be honed to a fine art, hence very little grumbling from the press.
