It is not long now until the UK embraces the big digital switchover. All of the pictures and sound which currently make up British terrestrial TV programmes will soon be broadcast exclusively in the new digital format. This new format will provide several key benefits:

Quality
The technical quality of digital TV is of a consistently high standard as the transmitted information is compacted (coded) into a digital stream. Digital streams need far fewer airwaves, so the airwave capacity currently required for just one analogue channel can be used to carry six or seven different digital channels. Essentially, this will provide digital viewers with a much wider choice of TV programmes to watch.

Interactive
The level of interactivity offered by digital TV is incredible. Just by pressing a button on their remote control, viewers will be able to access up-to-date information relative to the programme they are watching. Some digital channels will also allow viewers to choose their preferred camera view at large feature events such as football matches. Other channels will offer multiple choices of available information, such as news channels providing several different reports to select and watch.
