Scotland completes switch over to digital TV

TV network infrastructure provider Arqiva has announced that terrestrial TV is now fully digital throughout Scotland, with the five-year, £700 million DSO project completed on schedule and on budget.

In the UK as a whole, eight out of the 15 TV regions have now fully switched, including all of Wales and well as Scotland. Arqiva completed the majority of the engineering work.

Peter Heslop, DSO project director at Arqiva, commented that “completing DSO in Scotland is another major milestone in the switchover programme and a proud moment for Arqiva. UK-wide infrastructure projects on this scale are rare and I’m delighted to report that everything is going to plan and we’re well on the way to delivering this huge project on time and within budget.”
