Change in Czech DVB-T2 plan

The Czech Republic’s roadmap for the transition to DVB-T2 has become a little clearer.

Digizone reports that the expert group from the Ministry of Industry and Trade for Development and Strategy has, after a month’s delay, submitted a document on what will eventually form a technical plan for the transition. The delay was requested by network and mobile operators, along with broadcasters, for them to submit further commenst, wone of which the expert group has incorporated in its document.

The most fundamental change proposed for the technical plan is that there should be three, rather than two, DVB-T2 transition multiplexes to begin operating from this year until the process is completed in 2021. It would be regional and operated by Digital Broadcasting, which already operates the country’s fourh multiplex.

The two other multiplexes would, as planned, be technically operated by the national transmission company CRa and allocated to the public broadcaster CT and regional stations.
