The aim of the scheme is to ensure every eligible person is supported through digital switchover so that access to TV is maintained; for many, TV plays an important part in their lives. The scheme is run by the BBC, under an agreement with the Government, to help older and disabled people to make the change to digital TV. Each eligible person is offered help in the conversion of one TV set in the run-up to conversion in their area. For £40 (or free to those on income related benefits) those eligible will receive easy to use equipment, installation, a demonstration of how it works, and 12 months after care. Eligibility for the Help Scheme: Aged 75 or over For more information visit: www.helpscheme.co.uk
