About us

Information you can trust
Ricability is the Research Institute for Consumer Affairs, founded by Which? more than 40 years ago. We are a national research charity dedicated to providing strictly independent consumer research and information.Generally Ricability focuses on work with disabled and older consumers. However, digital switchover will affect everyone and for this work, we are assessing digital products for all consumers.

Testing has been carried out by Intertek RPT (Research and Performance Testing) at Milton Keynes, one of Europe’s foremost consumer product testing centres. For information on what our tests involve see Test Methods.

The Digital TV testing programme and this consumer website were funded by the Government to support the UK digital TV switchover.

The test programme, which started in 2006, is now drawing to a close and no new products will be tested after December 2011.  

This website will however continue throughout 2012. Prices and product availability will be checked and updated every 6 weeks.

For test reports on products that are no longer manufactured see discontinued products.
