what is the digital switchover

The digital switchover is a process of switching the country's television signal from an analogue signal to a digital one and is being introduced to cope with the number of channels broadcast. The new digital signal will give a much stronger signal to all homes and allow better reception, picture and sound and accommodate high definition shows.
