Going Digital in the Bedroom—Top of Mind for Show Visitors

Going Digital in the Bedroom—Top of Mind for Show Visitors

"Will our bedroom TV need a set-top box - can you run several televisions off the same set top box?" were the two top questions asked at the Hawke's Bay Show Going Digital stand this year.

Hawke's Bay's Going Digital Community Adviser Murray Sawyer said, "the answer is yes for the bedroom TV needing a set-top box. Every TV, be it in the lounge, the bedroom or the garage needs to go digital."

"Any television or video recorder with an analogue tuner must have a set-top box to receive digital TV. People can still watch their videos and DVDs but without a set-top box the devise will not receive or record digital TV. If recording is important to you, you may find it more convenient to consider a digital personal video recorder which also acts as a set top box for your TV."

Hawke's Bay viewers have until 30 September 2012 to make the change to their analogue television or recorder. "My message to everyone is that if you do nothing you will see nothing after next September," Mr. Sawyer said.

People wanting more information should visit www.goingdigital.co.nz or call the free Going Digital Helpline 0800 838800. This is also the number for groups wanting to contact Murray about presentations to their members.
