When do I switch?

With Switchover just arround the corner it is important that you know what to do on each day.

If you know which transmitter you are on then click one of the links below. If you live in Horsham or South/South West of Horsham, chances are you are on Midhurst. If you live North of Horsham you may be on Crystal Palace. If you live East of Horsham then its likely you are on Heathfield.


What do I need to do?

If you have Freeview, Freesat, Sky or Virgin Media then Good News, you don't need to worry as you are already digital.

If you only receive channels 1-4 then it's likely you are not yet Digital, but don't worry as switching is easy.

You have a few options when it comes to upgrading to Digital. The easiest being to buy a Digital Box which simply plugs into your existing TV. We sell a range of these Digital Boxes which we hope to list on this website in a day or two.
Another option is to buy a Digital PVR (Personal Video Recorder) which, as well as upgrading you to Digital will enable you to pause, rewind and record TV.
Alternatively you could replace your TV with a Digital Certified One.

All of the products we sell are certified to be fully compatible after the Digital Switchover.

It is also a good idea to check that your aerial will provide you with the best reception possible. Ensuring that you receive every channel available.
