Need help with the UK Digital TV Switchover?

 

It can't have escaped your notice that we're slowly getting closer to the Digital Switchover. By 2012, BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 and Five will stop broadcasting on standard analogue TV. To get TV after the switchover, you'll need to have a digital set-top box or a TV set that has a built-in digital TV receiver.

 

On this site, we offer some practical advice on how to get digital TV, and we answer common questions about the switchover. We also look at services like Freeview, Freesat, Sky TV, BT Vision and Virgin Media to see what's right for you.

 

We aim to help out with your common questions, and link to other handy resources on the 'net..
