英国最新进行的数字电视调查结果表明，英国已有89.2%的家庭正在使用数字电视接收装置。

数字电视录像装置，可以存储、回放或暂停电视节目，这些灵活性使得数字电视日趋流行。2009年第一季度，英国数字电视接收装置的销量已经突破100万台。

这一统计同时表明，英国已经提前进入数字电视的时代，政府原本计划在2012年才在英国全境关闭模拟信号服务系统，目前只有西部乡村和苏格兰边境地区等少数地区已经没有模拟电视信号。

随着90%的家庭开始转向数字电视，许多家庭也逐步开始更新旧电视。调查公司Ofcom表示，截止至2009年3月底，61%的二手电视已经实现数字电视接收功能。目前英国家庭正在使用的电视中，有近三分之一还有模拟信号接收功能。

The latest statistics on take-up of digital TV in the UK suggest that 18 million households, 89.2%, have a DTV receiver.

Digital video recorders, that can store, pause, or rewind live TV, are also proving popular. 

Ofcom reports that about one million were sold in the first three months of 2009, taking the total in UK homes to 8.9 million.

The figures also give insights into how Britain is switching to digital TV in advance of the analogue switch-off, due to be completed by 2012.

Analogue signals have already been turned off in a few areas in the UK including the West Country, Scottish borders, and the Isle of Man.

With almost 90% of TVs converted to digital, many homes were starting to update older sets.

Ofcom estimates that by the end of March 2009, 61% of secondary TV sets were capable of showing digital TV. They also think that about 27% of the TV sets in use in the UK are still only capable of receiving analogue signals.
