You don't have to do anything for the switch over and your old TV will still receive a signal as long as you have a satellite dish,cable TV or a set top box.You will need to buy a new video recorder though if you wish to record something on a different channel to the one you are watching.

the transmission you TV gets at present analogue signal, as from next year, the signal will be digital.
That means unless you have a Digital TV or a digital receiver ie Free-view box, you TV screen will be Blank, no picture
Free-view box are as little as £25.00.
your TV Ariel will still pick up the digital signal

buy a freeview box, unless u already have sky, virgin media, ntl or a tv with the digital sign or from 2008, the tv will no longer work.

Get you a set-top box converter, if you're poor government will give you one free.
