WHAT IS DIGITAL SWITCHOVER
The UK's old television broadcast signal (known as analogue) is being switched off and replaced with a digital signal. Any TV set that's not converted to digital when the switchover takes place will no longer receive TV programmes.
Compared to traditional TV, digital TV brings many new ways to enjoy your TV. Extra TV channels as standard. You'll receive all your usual TV channels and many more as standard including BBC Three, ITV2, E4, More 4, S4C2, Sky News, Cbeebies, CBBC, CITV, ITV3 and FilmFour. If you choose to take out a subscription, you can get many more dedicated channels including sport, films, music channels, and access to services that let you watch what you want, when you want.
Digital TV also improves the quality of your TV picture. Digital TV means crystal clear pictures and CD quality audio. New features also include on-screen TV listings, true widescreen picture and red-button interactivity.

THINGS YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER
Any TV set that's not converted to digital when the switchover takes place will no longer receive TV programmes. If you currently receive just the traditional five UK channels (BBC One, BBC Two, ITV, Channel 4 and Five) Ð or only some of them Ð on any of your TV sets, you'll need to think about your options for getting digital TV. Every TV set you want to keep watching in your home will need to be converted or upgraded to digital.
And don't forget your video recorder if you use a video (VCR) or a DVD recorder for recording you will still be able to record and play back tapes/DVDs as before. But, if you want to record one digital channel while you are watching another, you'll need a VCR or DVD digital convertor or a digital TV recorder.
