National Plan for Transition to DTV

The Local Government Commission Senate on 19 May was the appearance of D. Fernando Ros Perán, Secretary of State for Telecommunications and Information Society to explain the actions of the National Government in relation to access to Digital Terrestrial Television in the local area. The National Plan for Transition to DTV has its origin in agreement of the Council of Ministers of September 7, 2007. Divide the locale in 90 transition projects. Identifies the authority to order the cessation of analogue TV in the Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Society, and establishes the conditions to be met for the transition to DTT.

These are, namely:
digital coverage at the time of the transition should be similar to existing analog coverage. The degree of penetration should be sufficient to guarantee a replacement of DTT broadcast. The milestones that have required broadcasters are:-A

DTT coverage of 88% before July 31, 2008
-A 90% coverage at December 31, 2008
-A 93% coverage before July 31, 2009

Furthermore, to achieve universal coverage of DTT has chosen to impose an obligation on broadcasters as is to put your signal on at least one satellite platform.

Based on this, the coverage by broadcasters committed were as follows:

English Broadcasting is committed to coverage of 98% and for 1900 it comes into operation centers DTT
private television stations are committed to a 96% coverage with 1,050 DTV broadcast stations.

the date we say today that the National Plan for Transition to Digital Terrestrial Television has a reasonable degree of compliance, to the extent that the latest data available to us talk about a population coverage of 94.83%. They have sold over 18 million tuners for Freeview. The share of direct display of DTT is now at 30.9%, while the share of analog television screen is located at 49.7%. Households connected to DTT is around 67.3%, while households with knowledge of DTT reach 96.2%.

can conclude, therefore, that the National Plan for Transition to DTT has been, as I said before, a reasonable degree of compliance, and that in rural areas, less accessible to DTT are met commitments made by this plan.
