Of course: June 2024 ended with many new features in the field of digital terrestrial. However, the now approaching month of August will bring the DVB-T2 revolutiongiven that RAI has decided to speed up the process.
So, it is worth dwelling on 3 things to know about the new digital terrestrialso as not to be unprepared when the switch off occurs.
Which channels will switch to the DVB-T2 standard from August 28th
As things stand, Rai is set to switch on DVB-T2 on 28 August 2024. More precisely, on that date the switch off will take place the first Mux, namely Mux B. Which channels are involved? For the moment the sources refer to Rai 1 HD, Rai 2 HD, Rai 3 HD, Rai 4 SD, Rai 5 SD, Scuola SD, Storia HD, Premium HD, Gulp HD, Yoyo HD, Rai Radio 2 Visual, RaiPlay Sound, Sport HD test HEVC and RTV San Marino SD.
Why someone might need to change their antenna
Another issue that is not going unnoticed in these weeks preceding the switch is related to the fact that the transition to DVB-T2 could force someone to change antenna. Reference is made, for example, to systems with obsolete wiring and distributions with too many losses. These scenarios can represent an obstacle to the correct reception of TV channels, even if the variables in play are not few and it will be necessary to carry out the necessary checks.
Stores are required to sell compatible TVs
If you are currently looking for a new television and are wondering how to check whether it is compatible with the new standard, it is worth taking a step back.
