NEW DELHI: From today, BBC World will switch off its analogue signal on PAS 10 in South Asia and the Middle East. This is part of BBC World's ongoing process of digitalisation across the region, which began last October with the introduction of a digital signal on PAS 10.

The free-to-air digital signal on PAS 10 will now fully replace the former analogue signal.

Jeff Hazel, BBC World's director of sales and distribution, in an official statement said: "This is the final reminder to any viewers who haven't already made the change. Fully replacing the analogue signal with the digital signal is part of BBC World's dedication to bringing viewers the highest quality signal with which to enjoy and appreciate BBC World's quality news."

The downlink frequency for the digital signal is: 3974 Mhz. No decoder cards are needed. Distributors and viewers will require a Digital Satellite Receiver to continue watching BBC World.
