How do digital TV and analogue TV differ?

Digital television gives you more choice of TV channels and is delivered in less space and with greater clarity. Sound and pictures are in higher quality and you have access to a variety of interactive services just by pressing the red button on your remote control. You can find the most up-to-date news or gossip, or watch a sporting event and catch the highlights and take advantage of alternative commentary and information. In addition digital TV has an 8 day programme guide which lists all the programmes by channel.

With Freeview you can also listen to great digital radio through your TV with the sharpest sound.

That's why by 2012, all television in the UK will go digital.
