Preparing for the digital TV switchover

Things to think about before the Switchover

• Any TV left unconverted won't work after the digital switchover, so you need to be ready for digital televison.
• With digital televison, most won’t be able to record one channel while you watch another. Consider getting a digital TV recorder – it will also convert your TV!
• Check your TV aerial. If you choose to receive a digital service like Freeview, you may need to upgrade your aerial. It’s estimated that around 5-10% of rooftop aerials and up to 50% of set-top aerials will be affected by the switchover.
• If you rely on a communal TV aerial system you should talk to your landlord to ensure that your system will work after the digital switchover.
