Only a few days left before the debut of the new digital terrestrial: from next 20 October, in fact, several TV channels will come broadcast in high definition and some models of televisions and decoders in circulation will sadly become obsolete and will need replacement to continue watching our favorite broadcasts. However, this first move to HD will only be the first step towards the nationwide activation of the new DVBT-2 standard which will end in January 2023.
«If your TV is purchased from January 2017, it will certainly be compatible with the technological change that will start in October 2021, when the disposal of MPEG-2 coding will start in favor of MPEG-4 coding on DVBT standard – explain the FAQ published on the site New Digital TV of the Ministry of Economic Development – However, you can check that your device supports the new MPEG-4 encoding system trying to see the channels that are currently already available in HD: for example, the channel 501 for RAIUNO HD, 505 for Channel 5 HD e 507 for LA7 HD. Not all HD channels need to be visible: if at least one of these HD channels is visible, then the TV is compatible with the new coding and allows viewing of the programs that will be broadcast in high definition ».
They will be nine Rai channels e five of Mediaset to make the switch to high definition and if during the suggested test we will be able to view even a single channel in HD, it will be enough retune the TV again – updating the channel list – to continue viewing all broadcasts correctly.
In case of negative result, however, we will have to replace the TV or buy a new compatible decoder. In this regard, the MiSE proposes two incentives: the TV Bonus – Decoder and the Scrap TV Bonus to facilitate the purchase of a new television set by obtaining one maximum discount of 100 euros.
Does your TV not support high definition? there 10 compatible TVs and decoders purchasable by taking advantage of the bonuses!
