Question
How much will the digital switchover cost me?
Answer
Set top boxes, digital TV recorders and new TVs with built-in tuners are all available with either Standard Definition (SD) or High Definition (HD) tuners. Standard definition set top boxes typically cost between $30 and $80. High definition set top boxes are available from approximately $100. Digital TV recorders generally cost more than set top boxes because of their additional features, your choice of these features will determine the increased cost from a basic set top box. Replacing your television set with a set that contains a built-in digital tuner will cost more, depending on the brand, size and features that you choose. If you've already got digital TV, you won’t need to do anything more.
