If your tv has freeview built in, you should be able to retune it.
If you are with sky or Virgin Media, their set top boxes will enable you to view the programmes.
If not you will need a freeview set top box, they aren't expensive.
You can also get one with a hard drive to enable you to record programmes.

Full info on the digital tv website...........here (http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/)

good luck

we bought our tv over and works fine and even on English speaking channel's were they speak Spanish i can charge it to English.

The 19inch digital tv we brought over works fine,but it looks like our main tv is not digital,that's why I was wondering what I would need to use or buy to watch digital tv over here,i.e some kind of box or cable.

Electrocris sold a Woxter set top digital tuner for €28 you may need a scart connection as well as another co- ax cable to connect .
