Digital television transition explained

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 analog 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 analog 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 analog 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-T, adopted by Panama, Colombia, most of Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania.
• The American-made ATSC, adopted by most of North America and some of Asia and Oceania.
• The Japanese-made ISDB-T, adopted by some in Asia, most of Central and South America, and a few in Africa.
• The Chinese-made DTMB, 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 analog television transmission for digital services (specifically DVB-T), without being required to protect the analog services of neighbouring countries against interference. This date was generally viewed as an internationally mandated analog switch-off date, at least along national borders^[33] —except for those operating on the VHF band which would be allowed until 17 June 2020.^[34]

These deadlines set by the agreement have been difficult to reach in certain regions, like in Africa where most countries missed the 2015 deadline,^[35] as well as South East Asia.^[36] 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.^[37]

Digital-to-analog converters

See main article: Digital television adapter. Analog-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 analog 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.

Satellite and cable

Satellite broadcasting switched to digital much earlier than terrestrial broadcasting. The switchover process is much easier for satellite since only changes to the earth station equipment are needed on the transmission side and consumers are already used to having a set top box/decoder. In many places, the satellite switchover was complete before terrestrial switchover was even started. Cable on the other hand would switch off months, if not years after terrestrial would.

In countries where terrestrial is little used, the migration to digital satellite or cable is more realized. For instance, in Switzerland or the UAE, where terrestrial has low usage, the terrestrial switchover was not noticed by the general population. But in countries where terrestrial is the dominant method of watching TV, like Japan, Spain or Thailand, the switchover is a big deal as it affects the majority of the population.

• Zambia: Analog shut off on 31 December 2014. Switched to DVB-T2.^{[52] [53]}

Europe and CIS

• Albania: The original analog switch-off deadline was planned for July 2015, however this was missed due to multiple problems.^[54] Analog 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, analog 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 analog broadcast being in Gjirokastër by Televizioni Klan. Analog satellite broadcasts stopped in 2002 shortly before the introduction of digital satellite.^[55]
• Andorra: Analog switch-off completed on 25 September 2007.^[56]

• Armenia: Shut down analog signals on 10 July 2015.
• Austria: Began analog switch-off on 5 March 2007, progressing from the west to the east.^[57] The analog broadcast was shut down nationwide at the end of 2010 regarding the main transmitters.^[58] The last analog translators were switched off on 7 June 2011.
• Azerbaijan: Began analog switch-off on 17 October 2010, completed on 17 June 2015.^{[59] [60]}
• Belarus: Analogue broadcasting was disabled on 15 May 2015 in the UHF band and 16 June 2015 in the VHF band (channels 6–12). The final analogue switch-off occurred on 4 January 2016.
• Belgium: Media regulations are under regional legislation. Flanders switched off analog television on 3 November 2008, while in Wallonia, all analog services were switched off on 1 March 2010, making the country completely serviced by a digital signal. However, analog cable is still used by many cable subscribers, so therefore a cable switchover is unlikely to happen in the near future.
• Bulgaria: A free-to-air platform launched in the Sofia region, starting in November 2004. The Communications Regulatory Commission (CRC) said that it received six bids for the licence to build and operate Bulgaria's two nationwide DTT networks. A second licence tender for the operation of three DTT multiplexes was open until 27 May 2009.^{[61] [62]} Following the closing of this process, Hannu Pro, part of Silicon Group, and with Baltic Operations secured the license to operate three DTT multiplexes in Bulgaria by the country's Communications Regulatory Commission (CRC). Bulgaria completed the transition to digital broadcasting in September 2013.^{[63] [64]}

• Croatia: Analog television broadcasts were switched off for all national TV channels on 5 October 2010 at 12:35 and for local TV channels on 20 November 2010.^[65]
• Cyprus: All analog transmissions terminated on 30 June 2011 and moved to digital-only transmissions on MPEG-4 on Friday, 1 July 2011.

Broadcaster BRT halted analog signals on 31 March 2019, replaced by DVB-T which started testing in the country in 2009.^[66]

• Czech Republic: The last analog transmitters in Southeast Moravia and Northern Moravia – Silesia were switched off on 30 June 2012.
• Denmark: All terrestrial analog services switched off at midnight on 1 November 2009.^[67] Analogue cable was switched off on 9 February 2016.^[68] Analogue satellite was terminated by 2006 when DR 2 and TV3 ended their analogue signals on the Intelsat 10-02/Thor satellite at 0.8°W.^[69] DR 2 was the last ever broadcast using the D2-MAC standard when it closed on 1 July.

• Faroe Islands: Launched DTT in December 2002. Most of the analogue signals were switched off immediately.^[70]
• Estonia: Analog television was switched off completely on 1 July 2010.

• Finland: Analog terrestrial transmissions ceased nationwide at 04:00 on 1 September 2007^[71] (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 analog broadcasts until the end of February 2008.
• France: All analog services (terrestrial, satellite and cable) switched off on 29 November 2011. This included overseas departments and territories such as Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Mayotte, Réunion, French Polynesia, New Caledonia, Saint Barthelemy, Saint Martin, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, and Wallis and Futuna.
• Georgia: Analog broadcasts were planned to switch 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 happened on 1 July 2015.^[72]
• Germany: Analog 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 analog switch-off transmitters was completed on 25 November 2007, except one main transmitter in Bad Mergentheim, which was shut down in June 2009. Analog satellite receivers were still used by 6% of households in 2010 as the highest in Europe. The analog satellite transmissions (broadcasting on Astra 19.2°E) were switched off on 30 April 2012, being the last in Europe. However, analog cable is still used by about 30% of the population and 55% of all cable broadcasts. The cable TV provider Unitymedia switched off analog cable on 27 June 2017.^[73]
• 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.^[74] Analog terrestrial transmissions were first terminated at the Peloponnese region on 27 June 2014. Five more switch-offs followed in 2014 and the analog shutdown was completed on 6 February 2015.^{[75] [76] [77]} Α total of 156 broadcasting centres are currently active throughout the country, covering over 96% of the country's population.^[78]
• Hungary: Hungarian analog terrestrial transmissions officially stopped on Thursday, 31 October 2013, after completing two phases that ended on 31 July and 31 October, respectively. However, analog transmissions are still operating as of August 2021 on cable systems, at least.
• Iceland: All analog terrestrial transmissions were switched off on Monday, 2 February 2015.^{[79] [80] [81]}
• Ireland: Digital terrestrial television was launched in Ireland as Saorview on Friday 29 October 2010.^[82] At launch it had five standard-definition channels and one high-definition channel. The analog service was terminated on Wednesday 24 October 2012^[83] and was replaced by a second multiplex for Saorview. A small number of low power independent analog re-broadcast systems remained licensed until 31 December 2012.^[84] 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 analog 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.^[85] In 2011 the European Court of Justice ruled that the digital switchover in Italy was illegally subsidised favoring Berlusconi's media group.^[86] Analogue satellite broadcasts were switched off from the Hot Bird 13°E satellite on 29 April 2005 by RAI.^{[87] [88]}
• Kazakhstan: Analog 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.^[89]
• : DTT services rolled out officially in 2014, and the transition to digital ended in 2017.^[90]
• Latvia: Analog television completely converted to digital broadcasting on Tuesday, 1 June 2010.
• Lithuania: The switch-off of the analog terrestrial transmissions was completed on Monday, 29 October 2012.^[91]
• Luxembourg: The last analog transmitter was shut down on UHF Channel 21 on Friday, 31 December 2010.
• : Launched its first DTT service in November 2016. Analog broadcasts were discontinued from May 2022.^[92] The process was somewhat difficult due to the high costs of upgrading to digital.^[93]
  • : DTT based on DVB-T started broadcasting on 30 December 2012 but only in testing phase until 2015.^[94] The DVB-T2 public rollout commenced in April 2016.^[95] Analog broadcasts for Transnistria shut down in the period 2018–2019.^[96]
• : Analog transmissions were terminated on Saturday, 1 June 2013.^[97]
• Malta: All analog services terminated on Monday, 31 October 2011. The switch-off was originally planned for Wednesday, 1 June 2011 but was delayed for unknown reasons.^[98]
• Monaco: Analog TV broadcasts switched off on Tuesday, 24 May 2011.
• Montenegro: Shut down analog signals on 17 June 2015.^[99]
• 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. The switch-off was helped greatly as cable continued to use analog 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.^[100] 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.^[101]
• Norway: The switch-off of the analog transmissions started in March 2008 and was completed on Tuesday, 1 December 2009. Norway started its DTT service on the Saturday 1 September 2007.^[102] Analog satellite broadcasts of NRK and TV 2 on the Thor 4.3°W satellite ended on 15 October 2002.^[103]
• 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 analog broadcasts took place in 7 steps from 7 November 2012 to 23 July 2013 when analog terrestrial transmissions were completely terminated. Analog broadcasts on satellite ended when TVN stopped its analog 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 December 15 (west) and December 19 (east), 2023.
• 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 analog broadcasting ended. This switchover began on Thursday 12 January 2012. Analog cable is still available from all pay-TV providers (including fiber), for homes with multiple televisions. In December 2022, plans have been made to close analog cable signals. In late April 2023, viewers would see a message announcing the end of this kind of analog 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.^[104] 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.
• Romania: The country has one of the highest pay-TV penetration rates in Europe, with over 98% of homes receiving cable or satellite TV services. Also, over 90% of population are covered with DVB-T2 digital terrestrial television signal. Analog broadcasts were first set to shutdown in 2012,^[105] but it was delayed multiple times, until they were finally switched off on 1 May 2018.^[106] However, as of June 2024, analog television is still offered by cable operators.
• San Marino: Analog 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.^[107] 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.^[108] Last switch-off took place on 7 June 2015.
• Slovakia: Analog transmission finished broadcasts on Monday, 31 December 2012.
• Slovenia: The switch-off of main transmitters was completed on Wednesday, 1 December 2010. The last local analog transmitters were switched off on Thursday, 30 June 2011.

• Spain: The switch-off of the analog 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.^[109]
• Sweden: The switch-off of the analog 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 analog SVT1 transmitters in Blekinge and western Scania were shut down.^[110] Cable broadcasters continued to broadcast in analog until 2020. Analog broadcasts from the Sirius and Thor satellites were ended by April 2004.^[111]
• 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, 26 November 2007. A very high percentage of Swiss viewers receive their signals via cable distributors. By 2012, 40% of cable viewers had switched to digital. Analog cable was switched off on 1 January 2017.^[112] The country switched off its terrestrial network entirely in 2019 due to low penetration.^[113]
• United Kingdom: Digital terrestrial broadcasting began in the UK on Sunday, 15 November 1998 with the launch of the ONdigital, later renamed ITV Digital and now Freeview. The transition from analogue and digital to digital-only terrestrial signals started on Wednesday, 17 October 2007 with the Whitehaven transmitter in Cumbria,^[114] 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^[115] and the last region to switch off its analogue signals was Northern Ireland on 24 October 2012.^[116] 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 analog TV sets stopped on 6 July 2010.^[117]
  • Gibraltar

Analogue transmissions ceased in December 2012 (replaced by DVB-T Gibraltar Freeview)^[118]

All analogue services switched off on Thursday, 16 July 2009^[119]
