Residents in the north-west of England will only have access to digital TV services by the end of today (December 2nd).

Jo Waters, regional manager for Digital UK, said: "I'm pleased to report that the technical transition went according to plan and, from today, many more viewers will be able to receive digital TV free via an aerial.
"People across the north-west have responded really well in adapting to the change and preparing in good time."
Last week, the digital TV switchover was completed in the north-eastern parts of Wales.
