About Digital UK
Between 2008 and 2012, TV services in the UK will go completely digital, region by region. The UK’s old analogue television signal is being switched off and replaced with a digital signal. This will create a fairer situation in which everyone has access to a choice of affordable digital services.
Digital UK is the independent body set up by the broadcasters to implement digital switchover in the UK. The company is owned and funded by the public-service broadcasters and multiplex operators.
Digital UK:
- explains switchover to the public through a £200m, seven-year communications programme
- manages the upgrading of the UK’s 1,154 TV transmitters
- works with industry to ensure understanding and support for the switchover project
