Digital TV providers
The UK has just begun the digital switchover timetable, switching off the traditional analogue systems in favour of digital TV. Therefore if you want to continue to watch TV, you will need to make sure your TV can receive a digital signal. There are many options for this, from buying a Freeview box, through to getting a satellite or cable TV service. Many new flat-screen TVs even have Freeview built-in!
Digital TV is just a different way of sending TV pictures and sounds to your home. Analogue sends TV signals through the airwaves only, but digital TV compresses the signal and sends it in a number of ways - satellite, cable, phone line, etc - with no interference. Digital TV is also a catch-all word for both the equipment you need to receive the digital signal and the content you receive, in terms of digital TV packages.
Digital switchover in your area
By telling us your postcode, we can work out when your area will be affected by the digital TV switchover. Digital TV was first switched on in Whitehaven, Cumbria in 2007, and the digital switchover timetable ends in Ulster, Tyne and Tees in 2012.
Don't forget, our digital experts are on the phone to answer any questions you have too!
Cable TV is something we know about!
Choosing to go with cable TV is a big decision for any household as it means getting a cable installed into the home. So it is important to understand the pros and cons of cable TV, versus the alternatives such as satellite TV and terrestrial TV, before taking the plunge. This is where Simplifydigital can really help - we are experts in digital TV generally and cable TV specifically and have access to all the best cable TV deals from Virgin Media and comparative digital TV deals from Sky, Top-up TV, Tiscali, BT and Freeview.
