Get set for digital
The UK will have completely switched over to digital TV by the end of 2012. Going digital is easy - all you need is a TV with a built-in digital tuner or a digital set top box (one to upgrade each of your existing TVs).
HD-ready, HD 1080P
TVs with these symbols will allow you to upgrade to High Definition TV for the best pictures yet (via compatible receiving equipment).
The great digital switchover has begun!
Don't miss - the UK will have switched completely over to digital TV by the end of 2012 - if you don't switch you'll lose your programmes. All you need is a TV with a built-in digital tuner or a separate digital set top box to upgrade your existing non-digital TVs. (You'll need to convert all of your TVs to digital, including any portable TVs in the bedroom or the children's rooms, otherwise you won't be able to receive broadcasts after switchover).
A 
logo against a product means this will work after the switchover.
