DIGITAL TV has been a reality in Australian homes for several years now, but soon it will be the only option for Clarence Valley residents.

On November 27, 2012, the analogue signal will be switched off for our region, which could be of concern for many who continue to experience an intermittent and unsatisfactory digital broadcast signal, or for those who have not yet invested in a digital receiver.

Assistant manager at Dick Smith's Grafton store Simon Boatswain said he has been taking up to 20 enquiries each day from people who are concerned about their digital TV reception.

"Sometimes a booster or upgrading an aerial is enough to do the job, but in terms of digital reception, a lot of things can go wrong," he said. "Environmental reasons, such as weather and location can be a factor too."

Mr Boatswain has been appointed as an approved digital advisor and is able to provide consumers with information about the Digital Switchover Labelling scheme, as well as the full range of equipment options available.

Approved digital advisors have completed an assessment and wear a badge displaying the gov- ernment's Get Ready for Digital TV logo, their name and the date their digital advisor status expires.
