Q My area goes digital in April. I have three TVs - so if each has a digital box, will they be able to receive different channels at the same time?

A Yes - different Freeview boxes can receive different channels via a digital signal, just as traditional sets can via an analogue signal. The only stumbling block might be if one or more of your current sets uses an indoor aerial: these can struggle to pick up digital TV.

If you can't arrange for all your digiboxes to be connected to aerial sockets linked to a roof or loft aerial (the best option), maximise your chances of receiving a good signal by investing in a powered indoor aerial designed for receiving Freeview: they cost less than £20 and are widely available. Don't forget, too, that the digital signal may get stronger when the analogue signal is switched off.

If you'd rather use satellite or cable, you'll easily be able to install it in several rooms - talk to your service provider.
