Question

I have subscription TV or I am planning to subscribe – what do I need to do?

Answer

If your subscription TV package provides access to some or all of the free-to-air channels, you'll still be able to watch these through your subscription TV box provided the broadcasters continue to allow their signals to be carried by the subscription TV provider. However, you may not be able to access all the free-to-air channels through subscription TV, so if you want to see the standard definition or high definition channels available in your area, you may need to connect a set top box or a digital TV recorder (if your TV is analog). Alternatively, you may get a TV with a built-in digital tuner. If you are already subscribing or planning to subscribe to a subscription TV service, you should check with your provider and enquire about their options.
