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.
Each television set in your home could receive a signal from a different source including: satellite, aerial, phone line or cable. Switchover affects any TV that receives its signal via an aerial.
Getting your home ready
- 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. - Your TV aerial
Your TV aerial may need upgrading, however some will be fine after switchover. If you decide to get a service like Freeview, BT Vision or Top Up TV - Contact Us to arrange a signal test
