Digital switchover

[hollie1586]

this might sound stupid but do i still have to buy a digital telly, even if i have sky, to get ready for the digital switchover?

No, Sky is digital. Just need to get Freeview boxes or an extension to use any TV's elsewhere.

You dont need a digital TV.

What you need is a device to pick up digital SIGNALS (which can then still be viewed on an analougue TV)

A Sky box is already digital, cable from Virgin is already digital, and a freeview box is digital.

As long as EVERY TV in the house gets it signal from one of those devices then the analogue switch off should not effect you.

(Note: An analogue tuner in a video player or DVD recorder will not work after the analogue switch off)
