Just a note to say how pleased we were with the very professional and efficient manner with which you installed the satellite installation, with the minimum of disruption, into the apartment blocks. The system is working exactly as required and all of the tenants are extremely pleased. We have no hesitation in recommending you to our clients and we will certainly be using your company again.

The switchover to digital TV from analogue (the old style we have been using for decades) is already underway and will complete by the end of 2012. Region by region, analogue transmissions are ending and making way for a wealth of new digital tv channels and digital radio broadcasts. The central region of the UK is scheduled to be fully switched over to digital by 2011.
After the analogue switchoff television users will need to switch to a digital system to receive Sky TV, Freesat satellite TV or Freeview terrestrial TV. A Sky box, Freesat box or Freeview receiver will be required for every room in which you want to watch TV and each house will require a digital satellite dish or TV aerial compatible with the digital TV service that you have chosen. Some provision has been made for the elderly and needy to have one TV per household converted to Freeview digital TV.
The benefits of digital TV are manifold. The ability to broadcast many more channels in the same 'air-space' that analogue used and an improvement in the average picture quality are the main two that will affect you. High Definition TV (HDTV) and Interactive TV are also available and becoming increasingly popular as HDTV screens become cheaper. Why wait until your analogue TV is turned off? Avoid disturbance to your viewing by taking advantage of the services offered by Sky TV, Freeview or Freesat digital TV as soon as you can.
A new digital TV aerial and a digital TV box ('digibox') will mean that you can enjoy the benefits of the new digital TV broadcasts in all but the weakest signal areas. If you have problems with poor signal levels and are unlikely to benefit from even a boosted high gain digital TV aerial, then we may suggest that you change over to Freesat which receives your subscription free digital TV programmes from satellite broadcasters rather than terrestrial TV transmitters.
