  Intellect Director General, John Higgins has today told an audience of senior officials from Government, industry, retail and broadcasting that the Government's digital TV picture remains blurred - and that certainty of the switchover timetable must be provided if industry is to respond and support the anticipated switchover from analogue to digital.
  
  He warmly welcomed the announcement made this morning, by James Purnell MP, that Government will undertake a targeted assistance trial later this year, aimed at understanding the best ways to assist vulnerable groups through switchover, and particularly the confirmation received that an announcement of the switchover timetable would not be withheld until after the results of this trial.However, he confirmed that industry's position remains firm; to respond and support switchover we must have confirmation of the timetable as soon as possible.
  
  Intellect considers Autumn 2005 to be the cut off point in terms of manufacturer preparation and consumer education, it calls on Government to do the following:
  
  Government must provide certainly in the form of a Government announcement which confirms the switchover timetable and Government's commitment to it. Government, SwitchCo and the BBC must support and promote the digital tick logo (DTV logo).
