See the latest 13 test reports on digital TVs, set top boxes and digital TV recorders on the independent consumer website www.ricability-digitaltv.org.uk. There are now over 130 test reports on this free site to help consumers find easy to use equipment for digital switchover. The test programme and website are run by Ricability, an independent research organisation, and Intertek consumer product testing laboratories at Milton Keynes. The test programme is ongoing and the website is continually updated with new test reports. Lindsey Etchell, Principal Researcher for Ricability says, “Our digital TV research continues to show that there are big variations in how easy the kit is to use. Consumers need to choose carefully. As well as recommending the products that have scored best in our tests, our free website has advice on features to look out for when choosing. You can now search to find products with particular features e.g. low energy ratings or audio description. New products are tested all the time - www.ricability-digitaltv.org.uk.”
