You don't need a new TV as any set can go digital with the right set-top box or TV with Freeview built-in together with a UHF aerial or a satellite set-top box and satellite dish.
Mr Harford says it is important to remember that every TV you want to continue watching after 1 December 2013, whether it is in the bedroom, living room or shed will need to be digital.
"Now is also a good time to think about your DVD or video recorders. If you want to continue to receive and record television programmes using your current DVD or video recorder ,it will also need to go digital," said Mr Harford.
