Ofcom has today published three fact sheets relating to the UK's switch to digital television.
The fact sheets provide detailed information on digital terrestrial television coverage, as follows:
- Fact sheet 1: Digital terrestrial television coverage predictions. To assist the process of planning for switchover, computer models are used to predict coverage of the digital terrestrial television (Freeview) signal. This fact sheet explains how the predictions are worked out.
- Fact sheet 2: Coverage of the public service multiplexes after switchover. The coverage of the public service multiplexes has been designed to meet the same coverage level (98.5% of the population) as the existing analogue services after switchover. However, these multiplexes will not cover exactly the same 98.5% of households. This fact sheet sets out the reasons for the differences along with details on the ways in which different groups of households might be affected.
- Fact sheet 3: Why some people will receive more digital television channels than others. There are four different ways to get digital television: through an aerial (Freeview), by satellite, cable or broadband. This fact sheet sets out the different digital television options and explains why the number of television channels available on Freeview differs in different parts of the UK.
The fact sheets are available from the link below:
