The digital TV switchover is the process of turning off the UK's analogue TV signal and replacing it with a digital signal.
Why is it happening?
The digital TV switchover is Government policy. It will mean that almost everyone will be able to receive digital TV through an aerial (Freeview).
Digital TV also uses less broadcast space which means that after switchover, there will be more room for new services such as wireless broadband, local TV and High Definition Television (HDTV).
To keep your TV service, you will need to convert your TVs to digital before your area’s switchover date. This is done very easily by adding a Set Top box to your existing TV.
Benefits of going digital
Digital TV offers new ways to enjoy your TV service:
Greater choice of TV channels
New features such as on-screen listings, interactivity, audio description and subtitling for people with visual and audio impairments.
Optional additional channels and services including premium channels(e.g movies, sports), broadband and telephony.
