About the Digital Switchover.
TV in the UK is changing to digital to allow everyone the chance to have more channels and services.
To make this process as simple as possible the country is switching region by region.
You switched on 21 September 2011.
As digital switchover gets closer, we’ll be able to give you more accurate information to help guide you through any problems that you might experience. So it’s really worth you coming back to check for our latest advice.
You can find out more about the digital switchover at digitaluk.co.uk.
Will my other TVs need a digital box?
Every TV in your home needs to be converted in order to receive Freeview.
This simply means you make a one-off payment for each box, because we don’t charge you a monthly subscription. You can find out more in our product section.
Will I need to change my recorder?
The UK is switching to digital region by region between 2008 and 2012.
It will be difficult to use your video recorder (VCR) after switchover so the simplest thing to do is to get a Freeview+ digital TV recorder with a twin tuner. This lets you watch, record and pause digital TV. You can find out more information in our digital TV recorders section.
