I have a friend who is renting a place and they desperately want digital TV.

Iit is between Sky Digital and ITV digital. Does anyone have these services in a rented place ? Whats the deal with 12 month contracts, etc, if you move out earlier than 12 months ? Can you get monthly rolling contracts ??

ITV Digital should be no problems in a rented house, as it uses a normal aerial. Also the box xan be moved from house to house.

Not as much choice as sky, but deffinatly better than just 5 normal channels!

I thought ITV Digital would be better but in their smallprint it says "Standard subscription packages start from £12 (inc. VAT) per month for a minimum period of 12 months".

How about one of the pre pay packages? that ITV Digital do?

You can move your ON digital with you. Before I subscribed I got a friend with his box to come up and try. All you need to do is store channels again after the move. You don't get charged a move fee etc.

I also live in rented accomodation at the moment.

Went out a few months ago and bought a Sony DVB Widescreen, which has digital and analouge receivers built into it.

Plugged it in, and it went through a tuning cycle. After 20 mins it had finished and i had access to ITV Digital, BBC Choice etc - and all the 'normal channels' are recieved in digital RGB .

This is all through the normal aerial, and i'm not in a guaranteed area for digital reception either.

If he does not want to shell out for a new telly (£1,300) then he could rent one.

Just my experience

Cheers

BTW, check to see if you can recieve digital in your area first
