Why switchover?
What are the benefits of switching to digital television?
Switchover is fairer. Today, one in four households cannot get digital television via their aerial, and many still cannot receive channel Five. By switching off the existing analogue broadcasting system we can boost the digital TV signal and provide people with a greater choice of affordable digital options.
Digital TV is more efficient. It can carry many more channels than analogue and will free up spectrum that can be used for a range of services, such as TV services in either standard or high definition, wireless broadband , local TV , wireless home hubs and many others.
A world leader in broadcasting. Moving to the best available technology will ensure the UK continues to be the world leader in broadcasting.
