The digital switchover is happening right now, and the analogue to digital switchover will be completed by 2012. So far the digital switchover timetable is in the early stages. Whitehaven in Cumbria was the first place to switch in October 2007, and the UK will be completely digital when the switchover finishes with Tyne, Tees and Ulster in 2012.
There are three options when digital switchover reaches your area and the time comes to get digital TV - you can choose satellite digital TV from Sky or Freesat; cable digital TV from Virgin Media etc; or terrestrial digital TV (received through your existing TV aerial) from Freeview, BT Vision etc. There are also internet based digital TV solutions to watch on your Pc or TV.
Don't forget, our digital experts are on the phone to answer any questions you have too!
