2 . Why is the switchover happening?

The digital TV switchover in Bath is a countrywide Government policy that will enable the majority of people to recieve digital TV through an aerial rather than having to subscribe.

3. How much will switching cost?

Digital TV does not have to be expensive and will depend on the choice you make for your provider. The main points to consider are:

The number of TVs in your home that you want to convert

Which type of digital box you choose, and how you decide to pay it: lump sum or in monthly amounts

Whether you choose to subscribe to extra channels such as sports, or films, or services like broadband and telephone.

4. Am I digital already?

If you have more than 5 channels on your TV at the moment it is probably already digital. Therefore if you have satellite or cable for all of your TVs you will not be affected by the digital switchover in Bath.

5. Do I need a new aerial?

If you wish to receive your digital TV service through your aerial then you may need to upgrade. The majority of aerials will be suitable for digital reception.

6. What happens with my video and DVD recorders?

These will play back and record but many will not be able to record one channel while you watch another. If you record a lot of programmes it is worth considering a digital TV recorder.

7. What will happen between the 2 digital switchover dates in Bath?

When analogue BBC2 is switched off on 24 March 2010 and you are using Freeview, BT Vision or Top Up TV you will need to retune your digital TV box. On 7 April 2010 when all analogue broadcasts finish you will need to re-tune your equipment again to pick up all of the available channels. If you use satellite or cable you will not need to do anything.
