1.6. Why Switch to Digital TV?
There are many reasons as to why one should switch to Digital TV. More choice is
one of the most obvious reasons. While with Analogue TV's there are 5 channels,
there is also no monthly cost. Digital TV and the DEC mean that not only are you
presented with choice but for a small one off cost you have all these channels to
choose from, with no monthly fee to pay at the end of each month. While other cable
and satellite operators charge a subscription, the DEC functions on completely free
to view TV.
The features that comprise Digital TV are also of better quality. Digital picture and
sound quality are superior to the analogue transmissions. Not only is widescreen
more readily available with Digital TV, but the vast choice of channels means there is
also a much wider selection. Specialised shows on channels that cater to more
specific demands mean that viewers will naturally start choosing to switch over to
Digital TV.
Finally the DEC 1000-t is a very small and portable device, it can be moved from
location to location. With simple installation, digital TV and its vast range of features
are never far away.
1.7. Do I need a subscription?
No you do not need to pay a monthly subscription fee. However…
"If you use or install television receiving equipment to receive or record television
programme services you are required by law to have a valid TV Licence.
The type of licence you'll need and how to go about getting one will depend upon
your individual circumstances." See
