DNA, which owns cable and terrestrial networks, also said it will switch all its remaining DVB-T pay-TV channels to the newer and more advanced DVB-T2 standard on 17 May 2017. The on-going broadcasting technology update is part of a wider improvement of TV offering, where the current DVB-T transmissions of the free DTT channels will be switched over to DVB-T2 on 31 March 2020.
The majority of DTT-network pay-TV channels and all HD channels in the country are already being broadcast with the new technology. The greater efficiency of DVB-T2 technology increases broadcasting capacity and enables the transmission of HD-quality broadcasts over the terrestrial network. While DVB-T could potentially accommodate three HD channels per multiplex, DVB-T2 facilitates up to five HD channels.
According to DNA, the change will harmonise the number and coverage of pay-TV channels. After the change, 85% of the Finnish population will live within the coverage of all terrestrial-network pay-TV channels. Customers outside the coverage area can still watch the channels over a broadband connection with the DNA TV application or with the new DNA TV-hubi device, which increases the channel offering in terrestrial homes. The DNA TV application allows the viewing of all channels on a computer, smart phone or tablet.
“This change will only apply to pay-TV channels received over the terrestrial network. For the majority of terrestrial-network households, this will entail no changes to the channel offering,” said Pekka Väisänen, Senior Vice President, Consumer Business at DNA.
“We have made extensive investments in a nationwide broadband network, which we can now use for the distribution of pay-TV channels. In areas beyond the coverage of the terrestrial network, you can now actually view more channels via broadband than you used to see in the terrestrial network”, said Väisänen.
Pay-TV subscribers in the terrestrial network can check whether their devices are compatible with DVB-T2 broadcasts, which requires a television or set-top box equipped with a T2 tuner. The Antenna Ready HD marking means that the device’s compatibility with DVB-T2 technology has been tested in Finland, DNA noted.
