Make sure you are aware of the digital switchover time in your area. Action Aerials can work through this with you. Digital Aerials really can be the way forward for TV and allow you to view many more channels.

DID YOU KNOW? The current terrestrial transmissions network has been in place since the 1930’s and this is why it really does need to be replaced. Digital aerials will allow you to get optimum viewing from you TV set, although they are also a number of other options.

At the moment digital and analogue signals are broadcast simultaneously. But whilst the analogue signal is maintained, the digital signal can’t be broadcast in full and at full power across the UK. Digital aerials allow you to see its full benefits such as interactive and widescreen.

Digital switchover will affect any viewers who can only receive the basic 4 or 5 channels (BBC1, BBC2, ITV, C4/S4C and {where available} Five) through their TV aerial. This means they do not have a digital aerial.
