  • How many TVs do you have in your home?
    Consider every TV set that you want to continue watching. Any TV left unconverted will not work after switchover.
  • Do you like to record TV programmes?
    Video and DVD recorders will still play back and record but most won’t be able to record one channel while you watch another. If you enjoy recording, consider getting a digital TV recorder that will also convert your TV.
  • You should check your TV aerial?
    If you choose a to receive a service like Freeview, BT Vision or Top Up TV you may need to upgrade your aerial. It is estimated that around 5-10% of rooftop aerials and up to 50% of set top aerials will be affected by switchover.
  • What to consider with a satellite service?
    If you choose a digital satellite service and live in a listed building or conservation area, you may need planning permission.
  • Will switchover affect my radio?
    Your radio equipment will not be affected by switchover.

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.
