Apparently they will be confirming the dates for the digital switchover in NI some time this month (October 2011).
Quote:
'Digital UK, the body in charge of digital switchover, appointed JPR following a competitive pitch.
Northern Ireland will be the final part of the UK to switch over from analogue, taking place next year.
JPR MD Jane Wells will lead the account, supported by former Belfast Telegraph and BBC Northern Ireland journalist Andrea Clements, an account manager at JPR.
Wells said: The switchover elsewhere in the UK has been extremely successful to date, and were very much looking forward to helping complete the circle with a successful switchover in Northern Ireland.
As part of the arrangement, JPR has also secured the contract to provide media relations support for the Switchover Help Scheme in Northern Ireland.
The campaign will kick off in Northern Ireland this month when the exact date of the switchover in Northern Ireland will be announced.'
End of quotation.

Thanks Brian.
I see it has just been announced that analogue will finally be switched off in Northern Ireland on 24 October 2012. I am sure full details will follow shortly but I presume the switchover process will be done in (two) stages in the weeks leading up to that final date?
