The old method of transmitting television signals (analogue) will be phased out over the next five years. The changeover from analogue to digital TV will start in Cumbria on 17th October 2007 and will be complete throughout the UK by 2012. In order to continue watching your favourite TV programmes you will need a digital TV system.
Freeview Digital TV and Radio is already available and can be delivered to your home via a digital box connected to your existing television set, or your television must have a built-in Freeview receiver.
Digital signals provide a much improved viewing experience but are more sensitive to interference from the weather and building design. It is vital that your tv aerial is to the correct specification, and is located in the optimum position especially in areas where reception is known to be poor. SRH Aerials have the local knowledge and technical expertise to advise you on the tv aerial system best suited to meet your requirements.
To watch different channels in different rooms you will require some form of distribution system. A distribution amplifier can be used to link each television, with a digital box or built-in receiver, to the same aerial.
It is important when buying new equipment that you make sure it is suitable for digital TV so watch out for the digital UK logo.
