Abstract
We have charted the progress of digital television switchover from its origins through to convergence and the advent of the Connected TV, and seen how it has spread from North America and Europe across the globe, even to developing countries. The process began in the 1990s, around 30 countries had completed analogue terrestrial switch-off by the end of 2012, many more will have done so by 2015 but the full global transition will have a long tail. Does it add up to a revolution?
