An estimated 100,000 people have no TV channels in their homes.

It comes after the old analogue TV signal was switched off yesterday morning.

The changeover happened at 10am on October 24th leaving anyone yet to buy a digital box or television with a blank screen.

A helpline has been set up for anyone having trouble making the switch.

It can be contacted on 1890-222-012.
