Welcome

The UK's TV system is going digital TV region by TV region, starting in 2008 and ending in 2012, in a process called digital switchover.

A certification mark, known as the 'digital tick', has been developed to help consumers through switchover.

The logo identifies products and services designed to continue working through switchover.

The Logo Do's and Don'ts will give you guidance on the purpose of the different logos that are available, who can use them and where they can and cannot be used.

This website helps you apply for a licence to use the 'digital tick' logo and access the facilities it brings.

Under the Licence information section you'll find some background on the development of the licensing arrangements and view the different licences available.

You can register for a licence in the Register and login section where a series of forms will collect the information needed about your company, retail outlets and products and guide you through the application process.

If you'd like to see what point-of-sale material is available to help promote switchover, go to the POS material section.

Once you have successfully applied for your licence, the secure members area will allow you to update your company, retail outlet or product information online; order POS Material; and access the logo artwork and guidelines.

The retailer search and equipment search sections allow you to search the database for registered retail outlets in your area and for licensed products. Using the Adviser Search section, you can also find out which retailers have joined the Approved Digital Adviser Scheme. The majority of the retail staff in these stores will have received training on switchover. You can find out more about this scheme in the Approved Digital Advisers section.
