Digital television transition

Not to be confused with Digital terrestrial television.

World map of digital television transition progress:

•   Transition completed; all analogue signals terminated
•   Transition partially completed; some analogue signals terminated
•   Transition in progress; broadcasting both analogue and digital signals
•   Transition has not been planned or started, or is in early stages
•   No information available

The digital television transition, also called the digital switchover (DSO), the analogue switch/sign-off (ASO), the digital migration, or the analogue shutdown, is the process in which older analogue television broadcasting technology is converted to and replaced by digital television. Conducted by individual nations on different schedules, this primarily involves the conversion of analogue terrestrial television broadcasting infrastructure to Digital terrestrial television (DTT), a major benefit being extra frequencies on the radio spectrum and lower broadcasting costs, as well as improved viewing qualities for consumers.

The transition may also involve analogue cable conversion to digital cable or Internet Protocol television, as well as analogue to digital satellite television. Transition of land based broadcasting had begun in some countries around 2000. By contrast, transition of satellite television systems was well underway or completed in many countries by this time. It is an involved process because the existing analogue television receivers owned by viewers cannot receive digital broadcasts; viewers must either purchase new digital TVs, or digital converter boxes which have a digital tuner and change the digital signal to an analogue signal or some other form of a digital signal (i.e. HDMI) which can be received on the older TV. Usually during a transition, a simulcast service is operated where a broadcast is made available to viewers in both analogue and digital at the same time. As digital becomes more popular, it is expected that the existing analogue services will be removed. In most places this has already happened, where a broadcaster has offered incentives to viewers to encourage them to switch to digital. Government intervention usually involves providing some funding for broadcasters and, in some cases, monetary relief to viewers, to enable a switchover to happen by a given deadline. In addition, governments can also have a say with the broadcasters as to what digital standard to adopt – either DVB-T, ATSC, ISDB-T, or DTMB. Governments can also require all receiving equipment sold in a country to support the necessary digital 'tuner'.

Before digital television, PAL and NTSC were used for both video processing within TV stations and for broadcasting to viewers. Because of this, the switchover process may also include the adoption of digital equipment using serial digital interface (SDI) on TV stations, replacing analogue PAL or NTSC component or composite video equipment. Digital broadcasting standards are only used to broadcast video to viewers; Digital TV stations usually use SDI irrespective of broadcast standard, although it might be possible for a station still using analogue equipment to convert its signal to digital before it is broadcast, or for a station to use digital equipment but convert the signal to analogue for broadcasting, or they may have a mix of both digital and analogue equipment. Digital TV signals require less transmission power to be broadcast and received satisfactorily. ^[1]

The switchover process is being accomplished on different schedules in different countries; in some countries it is being implemented in stages as in Australia, Greece, India or Mexico, where each region has a separate date to switch off. In others, the whole country switches on one date, such as the Netherlands. ^[2] On 3 August 2003, Berlin became the world's first city to switch off terrestrial analogue signals. ^[3] Luxembourg was the first country to complete its terrestrial switchover, on 1 September 2006. ^[4]

Different standards have been developed for the broadcast transmission of digital terrestrial television, comparable to the older analogue standards they replace: NTSC, PAL and SECAM. Broadcasters around the world choose and adopt one of these to be the format and technology behind the transmission. The standards are:

• The European-made DVB-T2 is adopted by Panama, Colombia, most of Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania.
• The American-made ATSC is adopted by most of North America and some of Asia and Oceania.
• The Japanese-made ISDB-T2 is adopted by some in Asia, most of Central and South America, and a few in Africa.
• The Chinese-made DTMB-T2 is adopted by some in Asia and a few in Africa and the Americas.

2006 Geneva Agreement

The "RRC-06" agreement in Geneva (hosted by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU)) was signed by delegates from many countries, including most of Europe, Africa and Asia. The agreement set 17 June 2015 as the date after which countries may use frequencies currently assigned for analogue television transmission for digital services (specifically DVB-T), without being required to protect the analogue services of neighbouring countries against interference. This date was generally viewed as an internationally mandated analogue switch-off date, at least along national borders ^[34] —except for those operating on the VHF band which would be allowed until 17 June 2020. ^{[35] [ needs update ]}

These deadlines set by the agreement have been difficult to reach in certain regions, like in Africa where most countries missed the 2015 deadline, ^[36] as well as South East Asia. ^[37] High upgrade costs are often a reason cited for the slow transition in those regions.

The European Commission, on a different note, had recommended on 28 October 2009 that digital switchover should be completed by 1 January 2012. ^[38]

Digital-to-analogue converters

Main article: Digital television adapter

Analogue-only TVs are incapable of receiving over-the-air broadcasts without the addition of a set-top converter box. Consequently, a digital converter box – an electronic device that connects to an analogue television – must be used to allow the television to receive digital broadcasts. In the United States, the government subsidized the purchase of such boxes for consumers via their coupon-eligible converter box program in 2009, funded by a small part of the billions of dollars brought in by a spectrum auction. The program was managed by the Department of Commerce through its National Telecommunications and Information Administration.

Televisions with integrated digital tuners have been available for a considerable time. This means that a set-top box is usually no longer necessary with a new TV set.

This table shows the launches of DTT and the closure of analogue television in several countries.

• Official launch: The official launch date of digital terrestrial television in the country, not the start of trial broadcasts.
• Start of closedown: The date for the first major closedown of analogue transmitters.
• End of closedown: The date when analogue television is definitely closed down.
• System: Transmission system, e. g. DVB-T, ATSC or ISDB-T.
• Interactive: System used for interactive services, such as MHP and MHEG-5.
• Compression: Video compression standard used. Most systems use MPEG-2, but the more efficient H.264/MPEG-4 AVC has become increasingly popular among networks launching later on. Some countries use both MPEG-2 and H.264, for example France which uses MPEG-2 for standard definition free content but MPEG-4 for HD broadcasts and pay services.

• Albania: The original analogue switch-off deadline was planned for July 2015, however this was missed due to multiple problems. ^[231] Analogue channels were first shut off on 10 September 2018 in the areas of Durrës and Tirana, but they were restored later in the day because the supply of DVB-T2 decoders was not enough to cover the demand. The date was then postponed to January 2019 and finally October 2019. On 1 October 2019, analogue broadcasts were shut off in most areas, including Tirana and Durrës. A few channels switched off their transmissions a few days later. A1 Report (now Report TV) was the last to keep the warning screen on air. The date for cities like Elbasan was set for March 2020, the transmissions still being receivable in Tirana with a big enough aerial. Areas like Dibër, Gjirokastër, Vlora and Saranda remained on air with the switch-off date being postponed multiple times. Albania finally completed the transition on 29 December 2020 with the last analogue broadcast being in Gjirokastër by Televizioni Klan. Analogue satellite broadcasts stopped in 2002 shortly before the introduction of digital satellite. ^[232]

• Belgium: Media regulations are under regional legislation. Flanders switched off analogue television on 3 November 2008, while in Wallonia, all analogue services were switched off on 1 March 2010, making the country completely serviced by a digital signal. However, analogue cable is still used by many cable subscribers, so therefore a cable switchover is unlikely to happen in the near future.^{[ citation needed ]}

Analogue closedown warning broadcast in Finland

• Finland: Analogue terrestrial transmissions ceased nationwide at 04:00 on 1 September 2007 ^[247] (the switch-off was previously planned for midnight but a few extra hours were added for technical reasons). This was controversial, as the cost of a digital TV set in Finland at the time was heavily criticised and saw a substantial decrease in how much the television license cost. Cable TV viewers continued to receive analogue broadcasts until the end of February 2008.
• France: All analogue services (terrestrial, satellite and cable) switched off on 29/30 November 2011. This included overseas departments and territories such as Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Mayotte, Réunion, French Polynesia, New Caledonia, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Martin, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, and Wallis and Futuna.

• Georgia: Analogue broadcasts were planned to start to switch-off by 17 June 2015, but due to the flooding in Tbilisi, which occurred on the night of 13 to 14 June 2015, the analogue switchover started on 1 July 2015 and completed on 25 August 2015. ^[248]
• Germany: Analogue switch-off began in Berlin on 1 November 2002 and completed on 4 August 2003, becoming the first city to do so. Simulcast digital transmissions started in other parts of the country in an effort to prepare for a full switchover. Terrestrial analogue switch-off transmitters was completed on 25 November 2008, except one main transmitter in Bad Mergentheim, which was shut down in June 2009. Analogue satellite receivers were still used by 6% of households in 2010 as the highest in Europe. The analogue satellite transmissions (broadcasting on Astra 19.2°E) were switched off on 30 April 2012, being the last in Europe. However, analogue cable were still used by about 30% of the population and 55% of all cable broadcasts. The cable TV provider Unitymedia switched off analogue cable on 27 June 2017. ^[249] The last remaining analogue cable channels shut down in 2019.
• Greece: Digital broadcasting of privately owned nationwide TV channels began by Digea in Greece on 24 September 2009, covering a large section of the Corinthian gulf in Northern Peloponnese. During the 2009-2013 transition period, a total of 13 digital broadcasting centers were activated throughout Greece, covering approximately 70% of the Greek population. ^[250] Analogue terrestrial transmissions were first terminated at the Peloponnese region on 27 June 2014. Five more switch-offs followed in 2014 and the analogue shutdown was completed on 6 February 2015. ^{[251] [252] [253]} Α total of 156 broadcasting centres are currently active throughout the country, covering over 96% of the country's population. ^[254]
• Hungary: Hungarian analogue terrestrial transmissions officially stopped on Thursday, 31 October 2013, after completing two phases that ended on 31 July and 31 October, respectively. However, analogue transmissions are still operating as of August 2021 on cable systems, at least.

A small number of low power independent analogue re-broadcast systems remained licensed until 31 December 2012. ^[260] Analogue cable was shut down on 8 April 2019. Analogue satellite from Astra 19.2°E was discontinued on 27 September 2001.
• Italy: The conversion to digital television progressed region–by–region. It started in Sardinia on 15 October 2008, and was completed on Wednesday, 4 July 2012, when the last analogue transmitters in the Province of Palermo were shut down. The switchover was politically controversial due to a 2004 law that seemed to favor Mediaset, owned by the Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, in the television market. A 2006 bill proposed by Paolo Gentiloni passed the government of Romano Prodi that would make one of Mediaset's channels as well as one from public broadcaster RAI move to digital three years before the switch. The bill was called "tailored for political revenge" by Berlusconi. ^[261] In 2011, the European Court of Justice ruled that the digital switchover in Italy was illegally subsidised favoring Berlusconi's media group. ^[262] Analogue satellite broadcasts were switched off from the Hot Bird 13°E satellite on 29 April 2005 by RAI. ^{[263] [264]}
• Kazakhstan: Analogue broadcasting shutdown began on 1 December 2018, the first two regions turned off: Jambyl and Mangystau Regions. On 1 July 2019, nine more regions were disconnected: South Kazakhstan, Atyrau, Kyzylorda, Almaty Regions, East Kazakhstan, Pavlodar, North Kazakhstan, Kostanay and Karaganda Regions. Finally, on 1 July 2021, the last five regions were disconnected: West Kazakhstan, Akmola, Aktobe Regions, Nur-Sultan and Almaty. ^[265]

• Luxembourg: Luxembourg was the first country to completely switch to digital broadcasting and shut down analogue TV, completing the transition on Friday, 1 September 2006.
• Moldova: Launched its first DTT service in November 2016. Analogue broadcasts were discontinued from May 2022. ^[268] The process was somewhat difficult due to the high costs of upgrading to digital. ^[269]
  • Transnistria: DTT based on DVB-T started broadcasting on 30 December 2012 but only in testing phase until 2015. ^[270] The DVB-T2 public rollout commenced in April 2016. ^[271] Analogue broadcasts for Transnistria shut down in the period 2018–2019. ^[272]
• North Macedonia: Analogue transmissions were terminated on Saturday, 1 June 2013. ^[273]

• Monaco: Analogue TV broadcasts switched off on Tuesday, 24 May 2011.
• Montenegro: Shut down analogue signals on 17 June 2015. ^[275]
• Netherlands: Moved to digital-only terrestrial broadcasting on Monday, 11 December 2006, being the second country to do so. The switch-off was noticed by few, since the overwhelming majority receive TV via cable and only around 74,000 households relied on terrestrial over-the-air broadcasts. ^[2] The switch-off was helped greatly as cable continued to use analogue distribution, and thus consumers' old tuners continued to be useful. In March 2018, major cable provider Ziggo announced that it would gradually phase out analogue cable TV transmissions in the next two years. ^[276] Analogue satellite transmissions from Astra 19.2°E were halted on 18 August 1996, just two months after digital was introduced. This was felt by few people, however, due to low satellite usage. ^[277]
• Norway: The switch-off of the analogue transmissions started in March 2008 and was completed on Tuesday, 1 December 2009. Norway started its DTT service on the Saturday 1 September 2007. ^[278] Analogue satellite broadcasts of NRK and TV 2 on the Thor 4.3°W satellite ended on 15 October 2002. ^[279]
• Poland: Terrestrial television in Poland is broadcast using a digital DVB-T system. First test DVB-T emission was carried in Warsaw at 9 November 2001. In April 2004, first DVB-T transmitter near Rzeszów started operation, and local TVP division started to market set-top boxes allowing to receive it. The shutdown of analogue broadcasts took place in 7 steps from 7 November 2012 to 23 July 2013 when analogue terrestrial transmissions were completely terminated. Analogue broadcasts on satellite ended when TVN stopped its analogue transmission on the Hot Bird 13°E satellite in 2008. Later, in early 2022, most of TV markets (Polsat, TVN, TV Puls, etc.) switched into the DVB-T2 HEVC, while TVP, due to invasion of Ukraine, did it on 15 December (west) and 19 December (east), 2023.

Analogue closedown warning broadcast in Portugal

• Portugal: Digital terrestrial broadcasts started on Wednesday, 29 April 2009. Portugal's government hoped to cover 80% of the territory with digital terrestrial TV by the end of 2009, and simulcasts remained until Thursday, 26 April 2012, when the analogue broadcasting ended. This switchover began on Thursday 12 January 2012. Analogue cable were still available from all pay-TV providers (including fiber), for homes with multiple televisions. In December 2022, plans have been made to close analogue cable signals. In late April 2023, viewers would see a message announcing the end of this kind of analogue broadcasting on 3 May 2023, unless they bought a set-top box and/or scanned digital signals. The digital versions of all channels have traditionally been encrypted and could only be accessed with a proprietary set-top-box, which subscribers had to pay for with a monthly fee. Starting in October 2017, cable provider NOS unencrypted the digital versions of its base channels, enabling them to be tuned directly by televisions with support for MPEG-4 (or digital terrestrial) or any freely available digital tuner. ^[280] Channels belonging to subscription packs, as well as premium channels, still require a proprietary set top box to be viewed. Other pay-TV providers – Vodafone, NOWO and Meo – similarly no longer encrypt the digital versions of their base channels.
• San Marino: Analogue switch-off completed on Thursday, 2 December 2010.
• Serbia: Launched its first DTT transmissions in 2005. The first DTT-only channel was made available in 2008. As of 2013, the DVB-T2 network covers Belgrade and much of Vojvodina, several cities in Šumadija and Western Serbia and the southern city of Niš. ^[281] Digital TV switchover for 98% of citizens started on 1 September 2014. Transition progressed in six stages. First switch-off took place in Vršac on 15 April 2015. ^[282] Last switch-off took place on 7 June 2015.
• Slovakia: Analogue transmission finished broadcasts on Monday, 31 December 2012.

Analogue closedown warning broadcast in Spain.

• Spain: The switch-off of the analogue terrestrial transmissions was completed on Saturday, 3 April 2010. The switch-off was successful, as about 70% of Spanish television transmissions are terrestrial, so it was easy for people to just switch to the digital signal. Spain started its DTT service on Wednesday 30 November 2005. ^[283]
• Sweden: The switch-off of the analogue terrestrial network progressed region–by–region. It started on the island of Gotland on Monday, 19 September 2005, and was completed on Monday 15 October 2007, when the last analogue SVT1 transmitters in Blekinge and western Scania were shut down. ^[284] Cable broadcasters continued to broadcast in analogue until 2020. Analogue broadcasts from the Sirius and Thor satellites were ended by April 2004. ^[285]
•   Switzerland (including Liechtenstein): Switch-off began on Monday 24 July 2006 in Ticino and continued with Engadin on Monday, 13 November 2006. The switch-off was completed on Monday, 25 February 2008. A very high percentage of Swiss viewers receive their signals via cable distributors. By 2012, 40% of cable viewers had switched to digital. Analogue cable was switched off on 1 January 2017. ^[286] The country switched off its terrestrial network entirely in 2019 due to low penetration. ^[287]
• United Kingdom: Digital terrestrial broadcasting began in the UK on Sunday, 15 November 1998 with the launch of ONdigital, later renamed ITV Digital, which was replaced by Freeview after its collapse. The transition from analogue and digital to digital-only terrestrial signals started on Wednesday, 17 October 2007 with the Whitehaven transmitter in Cumbria, ^[288] and followed a transmitter switchover timetable, implemented by region. The first constituent country to switch off all its analogue signals was Wales on 31 March 2010 ^[289] and the last region to switch off its analogue signals was Northern Ireland on 24 October 2012. ^[290] Analogue cable broadcasts eventually ended and fully ceased on 28 November 2013, when Milton Keynes finally saw their service terminate, after a settling of a cable ownership dispute between BT Group and Virgin Media. Analogue satellite from the Astra 19.2E satellite was discontinued on Thursday, 27 September 2001. Sales of analogue TV sets stopped on 6 July 2010. ^[291]

• Bermuda: The Bermuda Broadcasting Company terminated terrestrial NTSC-M broadcasts in March 2016. ZFB-TV (analogue channel 7) and ZBM-TV (analogue channel 9), the two television stations in Bermuda, switched to digital channels 20.1 and 20.2, respectively. ^[299] Like its parent nation (the United Kingdom) and unlike the United States, Canada, and the Bahamas (which have been transitioning to ATSC), Bermuda switched over to DVB-T.
• Canada: Canada's DTV transition was completed in 28 mandatory markets on Wednesday, 31 August 2011. Some CBC analogue transmitters in mandatory markets were permitted to operate for another year, and transmitters outside mandatory markets were given the option of converting to digital, or remaining in analogue. The CBC decided to shut down all (more than 600) of its remaining analogue transmitters on Tuesday, 31 July 2012, without replacing them. ^[300] Also on 31 August 2011, all full-power TV transmitters had to vacate channels 52 to 69. There does however remain a very small number of community-based transmitters broadcasting in analogue, which will be shut down no later than 2022. ^{[301] [ timeframe? ]} See Digital television in Canada.

  Chile: The transition to digital started in 2012. ^{[302] [303]} ASO was initially delayed to 15 April 2024, but was later pushed back to various dates depending on the region. ^[304] The transition started on 13 March 2024 in the Arica y Parinacota, Tarapacá, Aysén and Magallanes regions, finishing on 19 March 2024. The Atacama, Los Rios, Coquimbo and Los Lagos regions started the transition on 20 March 2024, and finished during midnight on 26 March 2024. It continued on 27 March 2024 in the Ñuble, O'Higgins, Maule and Antofagasta, concluding on 2 April 2024. The last phase of the analogue shutdown started on 3 April 2024 in the Araucanía, Biobío, Valparaíso and Metropolitan regions, and concluding on 9 April 2024, ending analogue broadcasts in the entire country. Before that, some independent regional stations shut down their analogue broadcasts prior to the official deadline. ^[305]

Analogue shutdown was originally scheduled to occur in 2012, but on Thursday, 2 September 2010, Mexican government advanced the analogue shutdown from 2012 to 2015. ^[310] From 2013, areas began to be switched over regionally depending on the presence of digital terrestrial stations and a campaign headed by the SCT to distribute free television converters to households on the government welfare rolls. The first digital switchover was to begin on Tuesday, 28 May 2013 in Tijuana, but was postponed to 18 July due to the 2013 Baja California state elections. ^[311] The switchover was completed nationwide on 31 December 2015, when all remaining analogue television stations left the air. ^[312] Mexico then instituted a nationwide remapping of network stations in late 2015 requiring most of them to map to the channel number in either Mexico City, or for regional networks, the main metro area served by the network's flagship station.

• United States: A deadline for transition to digital broadcasting was set as 17 February 2009, but was extended and performed instead on 12 June 2009. Exceptions to the 12 June deadline included low-power stations, and "nightlight" stations which broadcast PSAs on the transition until 12 July 2009. Class A low-power stations were then required to transition to digital by 1 September 2015. The low-power and translator station deadline was suspended on 24 April 2015, due to concerns that the then-upcoming 600 MHz spectrum auction could "potentially displace a significant number of LPTV and TV translator stations", and would "require" analogue stations to incur the costs of transitioning to digital before completion of the auction and repacking process". ^[315] After the auction's completion in 2017, the FCC announced 13 July 2021 as the new analogue low-power shutoff date. ^[316] On 21 June 2021, the FCC granted the State of Alaska an extension due to novel factors that prevented the completion of stations digital facilities, setting a new low-power analogue shutoff date of 10 January 2022. ^[27]

ITU region 3

Asia

• Afghanistan: 4 channels of DVB-T2 were launched in Kabul in June 2014. ASO has however been repeatedly delayed. There is no date for the switchover due to the fall of Kabul in 2021.
• Bangladesh: Has adopted DVB-T and tested broadcasts as of 2014. ^[466] Public broadcaster BTV aimed to make the country digital by 2021, its 50th anniversary of independence. ^[467]
• Bhutan: Adopted DVB-T. The original analogue switch off date was set to be 2017, although it did not occur. ^[466]
• Cambodia: DVB-T2 was launched on Tuesday, 9 November 2010, ^[468] however, by 23 December 2019 the only FTA DVB-T channels appeared to be pay TV channels that the provider erroneously neglected to encrypt. The incumbent FTA channels have thus far not provided DVB-T broadcasts. The Cambodian government pushed ahead its co-operation with China for the digital transition from analogue with China's DTMB system. ^[22] Full digital transition was estimated by the government to have fully commenced by 2023. ^[469]
• India: Telecom Regulatory Authority of India set the deadlines for the completion of digital transitioning at the end of years with Phase I (Metro cities) by 31 December 2019 and phase II (cities having a population of more than one million) by 31 December 2021.

It was expected that the system would roll out to the public in 2020. ^{[478] [479]}
• Philippines: In June 2010, the National Telecommunications Commission set a deadline of 11:59 p.m. on 31 December 2015 for the discontinuation of analogue television. However, since the last quarter of 2014, the digitization deadline was postponed to 2019 ^[480] (and later to 2023) ^[160] and should be expected that all remaining analogue broadcasts will shut off by 2025 or by 2026. ^{[481] [482] [483] [484]} ABS-CBN was the first channel to transition to digital test broadcasts through its digital TV box ABS-CBN TV Plus. However their digital broadcasts were ceased on 30 June 2020 due to cease and desist order released by National Telecommunications Commission due to their expired broadcasting franchise on 4 May 2020. ZOE Broadcasting Network's DZOZ-TV became the first TV station in the country to permanently cease analogue terrestrial operations on 28 February 2017, ^[159] signaling the start of the country's transition to digital-only broadcasting. Digital television in the Philippines uses the Japanese ISDB standards for its terrestrial digital broadcast. By 31 December 2025, all Metro Manila TV stations will shut-off their analogue broadcasts according to the National Telecommunications Commission as start of its first phase transition. ^[485]
