What is the Digital Switchover?
Starting in 2007 and ending in 2012, TV services in the UK will go completely digital.
This process is called digital switchover. After the Switchover, all television in the UK will be digital. The UK's old television broadcast signal (known as "analogue") is being switched off and replaced with a "digital" signal.
Any TV set or video recorder that's not converted to digital when the switchover takes place will no longer receive TV programmes.

Why is it Happening?
The digital TV switchover is Government policy. It will mean that almost everyone will be able to receive digital TV through an aerial (Freeview).
Digital TV also uses less broadcast space which means that after 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 your area’s switchover date.
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.
