Step by step switchover guideClick to expand

This simple guide is designed to help you decide how to switch a TV set in your home. Remember that every TV you want to continue watching after switchover will need to be converted.

1. Are you already digital?

If you have more than 5 channels on your TV set it is likely to be digital already. If you have satellite or cable for all your TV’s you are not affected by switchover.

2. Find out when you switch to digital

3. Use our postcode checker to find out which digital service you want to convert your TV with.

The options will vary depending on where you live

4. If you choose to receive your digital TV service through your aerial from Freeview, BT Vision or TopUp TV, then you need to consider your aerial.

If you have good reception now, you are unlikely to need to replace your aerial for switchover.
