How much does switching cost?

Switching to digital doesn’t need to be expensive. The price will vary depending on the digital choices you make. The things to consider are:

  • The number of TVs in your home you choose to convert.
  • Whether you choose to pay one upfront cost or pay monthly for a subscription service.
  • If you choose to buy a standard digital box, an HD digital box, an integrated digital TV (iDTV), or a digital TV recorder (which will also convert your TV to digital). Search for a retailer.
  • If you choose to subscribe additional channels (e.g. movies and sports) or services (e.g. broadband, telephone or HD TV).

There are a number of different UK digital TV service providers. Availability will vary depending on where you live:

Disruption to Services

During preparations for switchover there may be interruptions to your television service due to engineering work. While digital switchover relates to TV, and not to radio, the preparations to switchover may also result in interruptions to radio service.
