Thailand´s National Broadcasting and Telecommunication Commission has approved 54 television models that come along with digital receivers that are built into their systems. Four brands, Sony, LG, Panasonic and Samsung have been given the permits so far.
As the proposed models come with their own antennas and therefore can receive digital terrestrial signals on their own thus negating the need for STBs to convert signals. LG has 15 of its models approved with Panasonic, Samsung and Sony getting approvals for 13 models each.
As the government has been hard at work to get people to move from analog to digital terrestrial broadcasting, when these units hit the market, people will be given discount coupons to purchase these television sets. The units will be available in the market once NBTC gives the companies permits to import as well as distribute them.
