DVB-T Usage in Germany
While considerably more extensive cable and satellite program packages are now available and offer beyond current television’s various options, terrestrial television in Germany still enjoys great popularity. Since 2005 he annually published digitization report estimates the number of television households that receive TV program on any device (TV, computer, laptop, tablet, etc.) via DVB–T, for the year 2014 at least 7,5 Million – corresponding to a total share of 18.8%. Large numbers of spectators are affected by the introduction of the DVB–T2 standards and must be prepared in the coming years on a number of changes.
Swapping Made Possible Until Late 2018
Those responsible want the fastest possible change and a correspondingly short transition period. Currently, DVB-T2 is still in the testing phase and there is only a few participants with available pilot projects; the UFEA European Championship in the summer of 2016 could, however, be broadcast in parallel via DVB-T2 already in the largest DVB-T regions of Germany. For 2017, the introduction of all public and private programs to the new frequencies is planned so that the shutdown of the old DTT probably can take place end of 2018. By no later than that date is required for terrestrial reception, a DVB-T2 compatible terminal. Old receivers can then no longer be used due to lack of backward compatibility.
If you look at an early stage according to DVB-T2 compatible devices, you must observe the following: In Germany, the signals are compressed in the future with the HVEC/H.265 codec, while other countries put on the older H.264 standard. So it may well be that a device while DVB-T2 (H.264) support, however HVEC / H.265 coded signals can not decrypt and thus does not work in Germany. To guide the recently pictured above logo was introduced that compatibility certified with the conditions provided in Germany. If in doubt, please contact us. We will be glad to help you.
