Switching to digital is as easy as connecting a digital box to your existing TV. You will need to consider all the TV equipment in your home when preparing for switchover.
| 1 | How many TVs do you have in your home? |
| Consider every TV set that you want to continue watching. Any TV left unconverted will not work after switchover.
|
2 | Do you like to record TV programmes? |
| Video and DVD recorders will still play back and record but most won’t be able to record one channel while you watch another. If you enjoy recording, consider getting a digital TV recorder that will also convert your TV.
|
3 | You should check your TV aerial? |
| If you choose a to receive a service like Freeview, BT Vision or Top Up TV you may need to upgrade your aerial. It is estimated that around 5-10% of rooftop aerials and up to 50% of set top aerials will be affected by switchover.
|
4 | What to consider with a satellite service? |
| If you choose a digital satellite service and live in a listed building or conservation area, you may need planning permission.
|
5 | Will switchover affect my radio? |
| Your radio equipment will not be affected by switchover. |
