Why is changing to Digital TV now so important?
In the coming months and years the national analogue terrestrial transmission will be switched off region by region and will be replaced by digital signal.

To watch TV after switchover, all televisions will need to be converted either by the purchase of a Freeview set-top box, Digital Television Recorder (DTR) or by the purchase of an integrated digital television (iDTV). It is important to note that Video Recorders will lose some functionality, for example you will no longer be able to record a different channel to that being viewed, but a Digital TV Recorder provides the same and better functionality. Remember you will need to convert all the TVs in your household.
