Digital television gives you:
-
- More choice of TV channels because several channels can fit into the same bandwidth used for one analogue channel.
- Higher quality sound and pictures.
- Access to a variety of interactive services via 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.
- An 8 day programme guide which gives a list of programmes by time to help you plan your weeks viewing.
With Freeview you can also listen to a variety of digital radio stations through your TV.
