TV

Television in Northern Ireland is available using, digital terrestrial (known as Freeview), digital satellite (from Sky & Freesat) and cable (from Virgin Media).

Analogue terrestrial used UHF 625 lines, in common with the rest of the UK, although transmission ceased in October 2012, as part of the UK Digital Switchover. Northern Ireland was the last region to switchover, in a process which coincided with the switchover in the Republic of Ireland. Both the analogue and digital networks are managed by Arqiva .

Regulation of the broadcasting and telecommunications sector is regulated by OfCom
