Television in the UK is going digital and Digital UK is the not-for-profit organisation leading switchover.
1 Switchover happened in August for all Wales in 2010
• Different areas are switching at different times
• To find out when you could have switched, visit our postcode checker at digitaluk.co.uk or call us on 08456 50 50 50*
2 You don’t have to buy a new TV
• Almost all sets can be converted with a digital box
• However, it you do want to buy a new TV, look for the Digital logo. This means it’s designed to work through the switchover
3 It doesn’t have to be expensive

There are two ways of going digital
• A one-off payment with services such as Freeview or freesat from Sky
• A monthly subscription with services such as Sky TV or Virgin Media
4 Digital TV gives you more channels and services
• You’ll receive a greater selection of TV channels such as BBC 3, ITV2 and More4
• In addition you’ll receive radio stations, interactive features, subtitling and audio description
5 Digital UK is here to help
