There Rai is making significant progress in implementing the new transmission standard DVB-T2. According to the latest information collected in fact he would have decided not to wait and to bring forward the legislative deadlines to turn on the first one MUX in DVB-T2 for the August 28th. Although the details on the composition of the MUX have not been fully defined, it is imagined that this will include the three generalist networks Rai 1 HD, Rai 2 HD And Rai 3 HD (which will therefore be simulcast), with the aim of improving reception in the areas where the transition to DVB-T2 is particularly necessary due to the limitations of current management in DVB-T.
The transition to DVB-T2 it does not only represent a technical improvement for the quality of television service, but also has significant implications for the market of reception devices, such as televisions and decoders. Current estimates suggest that approx ten million televisions in Italian homes they are not yet adapted to the new standard DVB-T2. This is a significant number, especially if we consider that the TV market has slowed down in recent years, with sales hovering around three million units per yearrespect to four millions registered in the past. The adoption of DVB-T2 it could therefore stimulate the market, encouraging consumers to update their devices in order to access new broadcasts.
In the next days, Rai will conduct tests experimental and temporary to verify the effectiveness of the new technology DVB-T2. During the night between 27 and the May 28thsome plants will transform the “MUX B” in DVB-T2. These tests aim to verify the correct functioning of the equipment used for transmission. These aspects are crucial to guarantee the success of the new technological implementation which will have a useful bandwidth of approximately 37 mbit/seca significant increase compared to the current ones 20 mbit/sec available in DVB-T. This increase in bandwidth could allow the Rai to transmit many channels in simulcast, replicating those already present on others MUX.
Although still broadcast (for obvious reasons) still with the current standard DVB-Tto check the compatibility of your television with the DVB-T2 you can tune into the channel 558where it is broadcast Rai Sport HD in format HEVC. If the channel is visible, it means that the television is compatible with the standards that will be used and will have the ability to receive the new signals once activated.
