Digital switchover

Are you ready for the Digital Switchover

The digital switchover is the process of turning off the UK's analogue TV signal and replacing it with a digital signal that will offer greater channel choice, improved picture quality and interactive text services. Every TV set you want to continue watching after switchover needs to be a digital tv or needs to be connected to a digital source, such as Freeview, Freesat or Sky TV.

The digital switchover is nearly complete across the country with only London, Meridian, Tyne Tees and Northern Ireland regions left to switch.
