The Switch Explained
What is the Digital Switchover?
The digital TV switchover is Government policy. It will mean that almost everyone will be able to receive higher quality digital TV through an aerial (Freeview).
Digital TV also uses less broadcast space which means that, after the 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 the switchover date in your area - this doesn't mean you'll need to change your TV, as a set-top box can be added to most existing TVs. For more information about the digital TV switchover, and to check when the service will switch in your area, visit Digital UK

Tips on Switching
Tips on switching to digital TV (Freeview TV)
• If you decide to buy a new TV or recording equipment, look for the digital tick logo. It means the product is designed to work after switchover.
• You do not have to buy a new television set unless you want to - nearly all current TV sets can be converted by connecting to a separate box that will sit on top or under your old TV.
• You may need to replace your TV aerial. If your region has not already switched, you can test your current aerial to see if it should work with digital Freeview or needs replacing. A test pattern is broadcast on Teletext page 284 on BBC1, BBC2, ITV1 and Channel 4 and page 484 on S4C. Check all channels. Ideally, the screen should display a full grid of vertical/horizontal white boxes. If there are more than 4 squares missing (randomly spaced – complete lines missing are fine) then your aerial needs to be checked and maybe replaced. If you are unsure, contact a known local aerial company or one recommended to you - they should offer to check your aerial for free.
