What happens when analogue TV is turned off?

When the digital switchover happens, external aerials will no longer receive analogue signals. If you already have digital TV you will need to re-tune equipment to find the new line-up of channels. Satellite and cable services will be unaffected.

What will you need to do to receive digital TV?

If you have an analogue TV you will need to get an additional set-top box or new TV to receive digital channels. You might also want to consider upgrading your coaxial or scart cables, as poor quality cables can affect your digital signal.

All new BRAVIA TVs have digital access built-in so you can watch digital services using just one remote control and with no set-top box or clutter of cables.

If you already have digital TV you will need to re-tune all products which receive digital signals, including your BRAVIA TV, videos, set-top boxes and personal video recorders.

How to re-tune your BRAVIA TV

Re-tuning your TV to find digital channels is straightforward and should only take a few minutes using the digital set-up in your television’s settings menu.

If you need further assistance, you can visit your local Sony Centre or find out more information at our support website.

Getting HD TV channels

If you want to receive any of the new High Definition digital channels on your existing TV without an integrated HD digital tuner, you will need to buy a new HD set top box or a new TV with the tuners built-in.
