Starting from December 1, 2013, North Island, in New Zealand will be the last area in the country to completely adopt digital broadcasts. However according to Going Digital National Manager, Greg Harford, as many as 65,000 television homes in the region might face cable TV blackouts if they do not act immediately.
Greg Harford said that while most have made the switch to digital TV, there is still a massive chunk that has not migrated yet. He said, “Nearly everyone in the upper North Island switchover region is now watching digital television, but there are still more than 65,000 households that need to act or face the prospect of no TV from December 1.
The Going Digital campaign according to Harford has been working closely with other communities in the area and have delivered more than 29,000 free installations as of date to help with the transition. The digital switchover in New Zealand began in September of 2012 and North Island is the only area yet to digitised.
