What do I need to get Freeview? … and how much will it cost?
Switching to digital may seem daunting, but it's pretty simple really.
For most people, a working UHF aerial or working satellite dish is already available, so all that's needed to get digital TV is a Freeview digital receiver - and they start at just $79.
Here are a few steps to take you through the process. Let's start with what you've already got…
