Digital television

How does the digital TV comparison service work?

Digital TV is the way of the future. Literally. By 2012, analogue TV will be gone (if everything goes to plan). All households will have to go digital to continue receiving services. And, with 85% of us watching TV every single day*, it makes sense to get the benefits offered by digital sooner rather than later.

If you don’t have digital TV already, why not find the best deal for you today? Or, even if you already do have digital TV, you may be able to find a better deal by comparing the different packages on the market.

Why switch to digital?

In the UK, 60% of us already have digital TV . If you are amongst the minority that don’t then here are a few compelling reasons to switch:

  • More channels
  • Extra information and interactive viewing, like pop-up information detailing the programme you are watching
  • More consistent picture and sound quality

How our digital TV comparison service works

It’s very simple. We have teamed up with uSwitch.com to bring you a free online comparison service. You can compare all the digital TV packages offered by the different suppliers. Here’s the lowdown on using our digital TV service.

  • Enter your postcode. We will see which providers service your local area
  • Tell us what you want. Select the channels you would like and whether you want to include a broadband and home phone deal in your package
  • Check out your results. Our calculator produces a list of the latest deals, which are supplied directly by the provider. The results are impartial, listed in order of how well they fit your needs, and then by price
  • Choose a deal. After you compare your options, you can pick one and may be able to sign up to it immediately on our site, or we will refer you to the suppliers website where you can complete the application.
  • Sign up online. Getting the deal you want is easy. It takes about five minutes to complete our (or the providers) secure application, which asks for your contact and payment details
  • Sit back, relax. The provider will take care of the rest. They will contact you to arrange a convenient time to set up your digital TV, and then, with all the extra channels and features you will get, you will never want to leave the box!

How we make our money

Our digital TV comparison service is free and there are no hidden charges. We are able to do this because we get a small commission if you sign up via our site. These commercial relationships do not influence the ranking of your results. We include information on all digital TV providers. And the prices quoted on our site are exactly what you would pay if you went directly to the provider.
