Digital TV guide

Television is a wonderful thing, and to appreciate it in all its multichannel, high-definition glory you'll want to join the digital revolution.

In fact, you'll soon have no choice. Between now and 2012 the analogue signal will be switched off across the UK regions and digital will be the only way to watch TV.

But which digital service to choose and how to use it? It can be bewildering. That's where the RadioTimes.com digital TV guide comes in. Whether you're already enjoying digital TV and want to know how to get the most out of it, or are yet to go digital, our easy-to-understand guide can help.
