This is the list of the stations on digital television in Vietnam . The channels that are available to viewers depends on the location.^[1]^[2]

A brief outline of the TV digitization project

On December 27, 2011, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung issued Decision No. 2451/QD-TTg approving the "Decision No. 2451/QD-TTg" project to digitize transmission and broadcast terrestrial television until 2020". The project officially started on April 1, 2014.^[3]

Route

To implement the digitization plan, provinces and cities are divided into 4 groups on the basis of socio-economic development level, radio transmission conditions and local frequency allocation capability.^[4] Each stage of television digitization will be done with each of these groups.^[5] However, compared to the original schedule, the time to stop broadcasting analogue terrestrial television in some localities has been delayed for some time due to difficulties in preparation and implementation.
