1. How do I find out which Digital
TV suppliers service my area?
Our postcode check allows us to research which
Digital TV suppliers can service your property.
Sky digital covers the whole of the UK but your
ability to receive signals may be impaired if
a building, tree or other object blocks the
line of sight between the minidish and satellite.
ITV Digital is available to 85% and the cable
companies 55% of UK homes.
2. What equipment do I need?
Each supplier provides the necessary equipment
to receive Digital TV on your existing TV set
(although with ITV Digital you must have a TV
aerial).
All digital suppliers now transmit all five
terrestrial channels digitally. If you live
in an area with poor reception you may need
to upgrade your aerial to receive ITV Digital.
3. Which company offers the
best package deal for the channels I want?
We ask you a few simple questions and you will
be presented with a table of suitable suppliers
and packages. This will allow you to compare
channel packages, as well as additional services.
Where a cable supplier is available you should
consider the advantages of a combined TV and
telephone package.
4. What additional services
are available?
Digital TV was designed with the idea of offering
more than just TV channels through your TV.
Interactive services, Internet access, TV e-mail,
games and video on demand are a range of the
services available from the Digital TV suppliers.
5. What are my choices of channels?
Most of the popular channels are available from
each supplier. Our calculator will provide you
with a range of packages that detail all the
channels from the suppliers available in your
area. You will be asked to choose the best package
profile for you. You will also be able to add
channels to your package.
6. Can I change my choice of
channels at a later date?
Don't worry - all suppliers provide the flexibility
to add, or remove, channels on a monthly basis
once you are connected. This can be done either
by phone or through your remote control (depending
on your provider). All contracts run for a minimum
of 12 months.
7. What are the advantages of
getting a combined TV and telephone deal?
Choosing a combined TV and telephone package
from your cable TV company means your telephone
line rental is included in your monthly package
cost. The site provides the facility to compare
prices with or without a telephone line included.
8. Can a satellite dish be installed
at any property?
You need to consider the following:
- Some leasehold and listed buildings have
restrictions on whether you can fit a satellite
dish
- Satellite dishes need to face southeast,
any trees and buildings in the way may obstruct
the reception of the signal to the satellite
dish
- 30ft is the maximum height any satellite
dish can be fitted in a standard installation.
Non-standard installation can be arranged.
