The digital signal was boosted at the transmitter, which services roughly 50 per cent of Scottish TVs, to reach the areas undergoing the change, with Cumbernauld and Kilsyth included in the list of towns set to receive a whole host of new channels through the swap-over.

The change requires every Freeview viewer to retune their TVs and boxes in order to regain TV channels. The process will be completed on June 22, when the remaining analogue channels will be switched off.
