The timetable towards the new standard DVB-T2 has created quite a few problems for DTT in some areas of Italy. Indeed, in the area ofEastern Oltrepò Pavese We haven’t seen the Rai channels for over a year. A situation that is little talked about and about which many have been kept in the dark. All this time without a concrete and effective solution to solve the problem. Many have chosen to switch to satellite television (tivusat).
In other cases the signal returns for a few hours in the evening and then disappears throughout the rest of the day. A particularly difficult situation to accept if you consider that the citizens affected by this misfortune continue to pay the Rai canon like all the others who, unlike them, manage to follow their favorite programmes. The hope is that things can change at any moment given the news arriving by the end of August.
In fact, before next September, several channels of DTT they will move on to DVB-T2. Among these also those of Rai in HD. This new situation could resolve the inconvenience and allow those who currently cannot see the public broadcaster’s channels to return to following the broadcasts without problems. However, the certain fact remains that some areas of Italy are almost abandoned and that the situation can be resolved independently by each citizen, without the support of state bodies.
Digital Terrestrial: a difficult situation
Various signal problems could be solved thanks to the arrival of the new transmission standard. Yes, the situation is so difficult that several areas have problems receiving channels DTT they hope for DVB-T2 to go back to watching television as they once did. The area ofEastern Oltrepò Pavese seems to be the one most affected by the difficulties.
The reason, according to what was declared by technicians in the sector, was the shutdown of the Rai repeater of Corso Sempione in Milan and the switching on of the new antenna on the Isozaki tower. After reports from the most affected municipalities, Rai responded that everything would be resolved with the definitive transition to the new one digital terrestrial DVB-T2. We’ll see if this will be the case at the end of August.
