What is digital switchover?

  • The government has already begun switching off the analogue signal in various TV regions. Once a TV region has been switched to digital, anyone in the region wanting to watch TV must have a digital TV. The good news is that once you’ve got Freesat from Sky, you’ve gone digital.
