The options are available for viewing digital television in your household

By Lavender Granger


If you have recently moved into a property, or have just built a new home, one of the things that you will need to sort out is your digital television system. Although there may seem like endless options out there for watching TV, we are slowly moving into the future where old systems are out, and newer viewing systems are in. Between 2011 and 2013, analogue systems will slowly be switched off, meaning that there are only three options for viewing television. In this article, we will discuss these three viewing options, and what ones are most appropriate for your household.

One of the most popular television systems out there is Sky TV. To get Sky in your home, you'll need to arrange a Sky technician to visit your home, install a satellite dish and provide you with a Sky decoder. You may choose to have Sky multi room installed - this allows you to watch different channels in different rooms of the house. This can become costly though, as there is a monthly charge involved ... an alternative is Sky distribution. A visual technician can distribute Sky to as many rooms of the home as you like, and with the help of an infrared system, you can change the channel in any room.

If you don't need as many channels as what Sky offers, you can choose satellite Freeview. Satellite Freeview is best for people with any type of television, and requires a satellite dish and decoder installation by a technician. This will give you 19 different channels, and (just like Sky), these can be distributed to a number of rooms in the home.

The final option is terrestrial Freeview. This option is for people that own televisions with built in Freeview. It requires a UHF aerial to be installed, so that you are able to watch high definition channels. HD televisions provide a much higher resolution than average television, and are the way to go if you are looking for the most crystal clear picture.

Do you need assistance with deciding what option is best for you? Arrange for your local aerial and satellite technician to visit your home and access the situation. They can provide expert advice and give you the pros and cons of each of the options in your home.
