Frequently Asked Questions.

I can't currently get Freeview. Does this mean that I will lose my TV after switchover?

No. One of the reasons that switchover is happening is so that more people can get Freeview (TV through their aerial). It's only by switching off the old analogue signal that power for the digital signal can be increased.

Will I have to throw out my TV, especially if it's old?

No. With very rare exceptions, all TVs can be converted to digital with a digital box - even black and white ones.

If your television was manufactured after 1996, it will have a Scart socket. This means it can be connected to a digital box with a Scart lead, which is the best quality connection.

If your TV does not have a Scart socket on the back, and has only a small round aerial socket instead, you can still adapt it for digital. Just make sure you ask your retailer for a digital box with an "RF modulator" built in. This means the box can be plugged into the small aerial socket without the need for a Scart lead (please note that the signal with an RF through-loop or RF modulator will not be as good as the one through a Scart socket). These typically start at about £25.

Unfortunately if your television does not have either of these inputs it cannot be converted to receive digital television. Why not buy a panasonic pz81b HDTV with freesat already installed Ready for the DIGITAL SWITCHOVER
