Buy to let property owners who are confused by the digital switchover can now get help from Sky.

The National Landlords Association (NLA) said that many landlords are not prepared for the switchover and are not sure what effect it will have on their tenants.

Sky has now joined NLA's Recognised Supplier Scheme and will give advice and support to those confused by the move.

Paul Berwick, head of marketing at NLA, said: "Many landlords are still in the dark about what they need to do."

He claimed that Sky has tailored its products and offers competitive prices to landlords.

Buy to let property owners who offer shared communal viewing will be able to purchase digital reception systems for whole blocks of flats rather than multiple mini dishes, the association reported.

NLA's Recognised Supplier Scheme aims to help landlords narrow their search when choosing between companies, it says.

A logo pointing out that a company is a recognised supplier or a partner of the scheme can be found in participating businesses.
