You may not be able to get every single digital package, because the provider might not operate in your area. You can find out what you can get at your address with our Simplifydigital checker™. You might also want to know more about the digital switchover, the lowdown on the best new digital equipment or what all the techno-babble actually means. But first here's an introduction to the main digital services:

Digital TV

Digital TV is simply a different way of transmitting pictures and sound to your home. You'll find a more detailed explanation of this in our Digital TV explained section, but in a nutshell, you can choose from free digital TV services (such as Freeview and Freesat) or pay digital TV services from companies like Sky, Virgin Media, and most recently, BT. Find out more about digital TV.

Broadband

Broadband is a faster way of connecting to the internet, which has almost completely replaced the 'old' dial-up system. As a digital service, it is supplied by various broadband providers, including Orange and TalkTalk. Find out more about broadband.

Home Phone

You know what one of these is, of course, so we're not going to explain it to you. But because broadband uses the phone system to reach your homes, phone services providers offer deals on both. Find out more about home phone services.

Digital packages

Digital packages or bundles are simply two or more digital services supplied by the same digital service provider. Find out more about digital packages.
