Digital switchover simply means changing from analogue signal to digital. Currently, our free-to-air television signals are broadcast in both analogue and digital formats. During the digital switchover, all free-to-air analogue television signals will be progressively turned off and replaced with digital only television signals. Simply put, digital TV will give you DVD+ quality pictures, CD quality sound as well as widescreen format. It will also bring new digital TV channels and interactive features like a digital TV guide (EPG) Electronic Program Guide. Dealspace HD Recorders (PVR's) offer the additional feature of being able to preset recordings from the EPG (you can record 2 programs simultaneously) and store them on the internal Hard Drive allowing you to watch your favourite shows when you want to watch them. Now with most areas getting 16+ Digital channels there is even more reason to upgrade your TV viewing with a Dealspace PVR.
