In 2008, existing analogue TV signals will be switched off throughout the South West. Everyone will then have to receive their television in digital form via Freeview, SKY or cable. Because we believe that reception in South & West Dorset is already patchy for many, we are very concerned that South & West Dorset, which is being badly neglected by the BBC & other broadcasters already, will be even worse off after switchover.

The Action Group, which is non-political, is chaired by Oliver Letwin MP, and has been formed to obtain maximum coverage for South & West Dorset of both TV and Radio broadcasts. In addition, SWEDBAG plans to ensure that South & West Dorset has proper local news/events coverage in both media. To convince the powers that be that we really do have several real problems, we need to establish the current situation, hence this questionnaire.

Would you therefore please spend a few minutes of your time completing this form by putting a CHECK in one box only in each line*(except Question 2), & **include your post code**? We particularly need to know what your existing analogue TV reception is like – please use the comments box at the bottom of the form to describe this if you have both digital and analogue TV.
