Television in the UK is going digital, bringing
us all more choice and new services. Starting
in late 2007 and ending in 2012, television
services in the UK will go completely digital, TV
region by TV region.
Please see above to find out when your area
switches to digital.
Digital UK is the independent, non-profit
organisation leading the process of digital
TV switchover in the UK. Digital UK provides
impartial information on what people need to
do to prepare for the move to digital, and when
they need to do it.
How the switchover affects your TV equipment:
Your new TV has a digital tuner built in, which
means it is ready to receive the Freeview sig-
nal by simply plugging it into your aerial socket
(check if you can get digital TV through your
aerial now, or whether you'll have to wait until
switchover, at www.digitaluk.co.uk).
When the TV switchover happens in your area,
there are at least two occasions when you will
need to re-tune your TV in order to continue re-
ceiving your existing TV channels, and also to
pick up new ones, Digital UK, the body leading
the digital TV switchover, will advise you when
you need to re-tune during the switchover.
If you choose to connect your TV to satellite
or cable with a digital box then it will not be
affected by switchover, and you won't need to
re-tune.
