Things To Consider
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.
