2 10142_Doordrop_Isle-of-Man_165x165 18/4/06 10:59 Page 4 The digital TV switchover. In a nutshell. You may have heard that the UK and Isle of Man s TV broadcast system is switching to digital. We ve sent you this booklet to provide you with easy independent advice on what it all means for you. This friendly little robot is Digit Al, who will be your guide during switchover. Remember if you don t switch you ll lose your programmes! What s happening? The UK s old analogue television broadcast signal is being switched off and replaced with a digital signal. Any TV set or video recorder that s not converted to digital when the switchover takes place will no longer receive TV programmes. What is digital TV? Digital TV is the latest way to broadcast pictures and sound. It gives you all your usual channels and access to many more such as BBC Three, ITV2, E4 and Sky News. It can also give you better picture and sound quality. If your TV receives more than 5 channels (not including regional variations) it s probably already digital. All your TV sets will need to be set for digital. The old TV signal will be switched off starting in 2008 This guide is brought to you by Digital UK, the independent, not-for-profit organisation leading the switchover process. Look for the digital tick logo If you are thinking of getting new TV equipment look for the digital It appears on products and services that are designed to work before, during and after switchover. Digital UK is working with Call us on * Visit us at digitaluk.co.uk The digital switchover logo is a Certification Mark. *Calls charged at BT rate of 3p per minute daytime and 1p per minute evenings and weekends. Rates may vary for calls from non-bt lines.

3 10142_Doordrop_Isle-of-Man_165x165 18/4/06 10:59 Page 6 I ve seen the future of TV and it s digital Switchover in the Border TV region You can see what digital options are currently available in your area by using our postcode checker at digitaluk.co.uk or by calling You may live in an overlap area (indicated in light pink on the map) where you can receive a signal from more than one TV region. You can check your TV region by seeing which ITV news service you receive or on Teletext page 106. Make sure you know what TV region you re in Why are we switching to digital TV? Switchover makes it fairer. Today over two-thirds of UK homes have digital TV. However, one in four cannot get it via their aerial, and many still cannot receive Five. Only by switching off the existing analogue broadcasting system is it possible to boost the digital TV signal and provide people with a greater choice of affordable digital options. Digital TV is also more efficient. It frees up airwaves that could be used for innovations such as mobile TV or high definition TV. A world leader in broadcasting. Moving to the best available technology will ensure the UK continues as a world leader in broadcasting.

4 10142_Doordrop_Isle-of-Man_165x165 18/4/06 10:59 Page 8 What do you get with digital TV? You ll receive all your usual channels and many more channels as standard, featuring documentaries, news, drama, films, childrens programmes, comedy, music and much more. Plus extra services including the interactive red button and digital radio. Additionally, there are services such as subtitling and audio description for people with hearing and sight impairments. And if you choose to take out a subscription, you can get many more dedicated channels including sport, films, music and access to services which let you watch what you want, when you want. All your usual channels plus loads of extra channels and services as standard NEW NEW

5 10142_Doordrop_Isle-of-Man_165x165 18/4/06 10:59 Page 10 What do I have to do? How do I get digital TV? First, you need to choose how you want to get your digital TV signal. How do I know what to buy? Look for the digital Through an aerial (Freeview, Top Up TV) By satellite (Sky, freesat from Sky) Through a cable (Wight Cable) Then choose whether you want to make a one-off payment or pay by monthly subscription. There s information on all the companies who provide digital TV in your region in the fold-out section at the back of this booklet. Do I need a new telly? You don t need a new TV, just a digital box. However, if you are thinking of upgrading your current set and you want digital TV, look for the digital And don t forget your video or DVD recorder If you use a video (VCR) or DVD recorder for recording then you will need to adapt it with a digital box, or replace it with a digital recorder that has a digital box built in, sometimes called a PVR. Look for the digital tick logo Will I need a new TV aerial? Most households won t. However, if you have Freeview and have checked that you can receive it in your area and still can t get reception, you will need to find out if your existing TV aerial and installation are suitable. Ensure that your aerial installer is a CAI member or Registered Digital Installer carrying the digital Do not use an aerial installer who calls at your home uninvited. What if I can t get Freeview now? Shouldn t be a problem. Even if you can t get it now, after switchover just about everyone will be able to receive Freeview. However there s no need to wait until then to go digital. To find out how to get other non-subscription digital TV services, such as freesat from Sky, please look at the back of this booklet. Where does high definition (HD) fit into all this? If you re considering getting new HD ready TV equipment be sure it has the digital tick logo as well as the HD ready logo. To receive programmes in HD you need to receive an HD service, currently available on cable and satellite with an HD compatible box. Call us on Visit us at digitaluk.co.uk
