Ninety five per cent of needy households in Hungary have digital reception equipment with only one week to go before ASO, according to the regulator NMHH.
The country is undertaking digital switchover in two steps, with the second due to take place on October 31.
The NMHH says that 90,000 homes have turned to it for help in the second stage of the process and help will be on hand to obtain reception equipment until November 30.
Following ASO, terrestrial viewers will be able to receive seven channels without a subscription fee rather than the current three.
Meanwhile, Antenna Hungária says that on November 1 it will start digital transmissions from 19 new low-power sites.
Its MinDig TV and MinDig TV Extra services, offering viewers a total of 31 TV channels, will then be transmitted from a total of 90 sites.
Antenna Hungária has invested HUF25 billion (€85.4 million) in the digitisation process and MinDig TV Extra is now the fourth largest pay-TV operation in the country, claiming almost 130,000 subscribers.
