Television in the UK is going digital, bringing us all more choice and new services. Digital UK, the independent organisation set up by the public-service broadcasters, is here to help.
Starting in 2007 and ending in 2012, TV services in the UK will go completely digital, TV region by TV region. This process is called digital switchover.
After switchover, all television in the UK will be digital. The UK’s old television broadcast signal (known as “analogue” ) is being switched off and replaced with a “digital” signal. Any TV set or video recorder that’s not converted to digital when the switchover takes place will no longer receive TV programmes.
Here at BuyCleverStuff we have a section of products that will allow you to view Digital television before, during and after the switch over, just look for the DVB-t word in our product descriptions. DVB-t means Digital Video Broadcasting - Terrestrial, which is the standard that Freeview uses and the agreed European consortium standard for the broadcast transmission of digital terrestrial television.
