The technology – chosen technology

My chosen technology is the digital TV switchover. It’s the process in which the UK’s old television broadcast signal (known as “analogue”) is being switched off and replaced with a “digital” signal. Any TV set that’s not converted to digital when the switchover takes place will no longer receive any TV programmes. Instead of the traditional five UK channels (BBC One, BBC Two, ITV, Channel 4 and Five) – or only some of them. Every TV set wanted to keep watching in your home will need to be converted or upgraded to digital.
