About Freeview & The Digital Switchover
From 2012, the whole of the UK Television broadcasting will become Digital. This process is called ‘The Digital Switchover’, with the old analogue signal being turned off and the new digital TV signal being active, which will happen region by region. However, most of the country can already receive the digital TV signal.
With Freeview TV already available throughout the most of the UK, you could have access to a whole new variety of television entertainment and interactive digital TV channels, from comedy and drama, to news and music, all of which are free!
Freeview provides fantastic interactive digital television, allowing the viewer to participate in their favourite live TV shows by pressing the red button. The Freeview interactive service also provides a variety of games for all the family.
The majority of Freeview digital set top boxes provide advanced digital programming guides allowing you to view upcoming Freeview television shows several weeks in advance, and also come complete with a digital programme timer, to ensure you don’t miss the start!
Furthermore, Freeview provides enhanced digital teletext services, and when required, digital subtitles.
Freeview has provided the United Kingdom a cross platform of digital TV channels since October 2002, all completely free, and they are currently in the process of introducing new digital entertainment features, such as Freeview+ providing tape free recording, and Freeview HD with free high definition programming.
With access to 48 digital TV and 24 radio channels, offering superior sound and picture quality, why wait until 2012 when you can benefit from Freeview digital TV entertainment now!
How Do I ‘Switch On To Digital’?
With Freeview TV, there is no monthly subscription required to receive and enjoy the service. You are not tied into any contract, any rental agreements or committment. Freeview, as the name suggests, is FREE!
However, for those who want to receive extra digital entertainment channels, such as Sentanta Sports, MTV, Living, The Disney Channel, Cartoon Network and many more, can also purchase a ‘Top Up TV Anytime’ digital receiver.
This additional set top box automatically records approximately 150 digital programmes and stores them for your viewing for upto 7 days. As these programmes are recorded and stored on the hardrive, they can be viewed anytime at your request, when it suits you.
‘Top Up TV Anytime’ does require a monthly payment direct to Top Up TV.
NO MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTIONS!
With Freeview TV, there is no monthly subscription required to receive and enjoy the service, although there are a number or additional Freeview digital channels available via Top Up TV, or pay to view TV channels. If you wish to receive these premium channels, you will require a digital receiver with CAM card access.
Can I Receive Freeview Digital TV?
Although you can check if you receive Freeview Digital TV online using the official digital TV postcode checking system, this is not always accurate, as it is based upon general area signal strengths.
If the online Digital TV postcode checker advises that you are currently unable to receive the fantastic entertainment channels on offer, do not despair!
Digital World specialize in providing suitable solutions to meet your home entertainment needs! Using specialist equipment and having many years of experience in quality installations throughout the UK, you may still be able to receive digital Freeview TV, or an alternative Digital TV system.
