The youngest may remember more vaguely or even living it, but since 2008, we have started to live the end of analog television in USA in favor of a TTT which has remained so far. And not panic, because digital terrestrial television still has a lot of life. However, It must evolve and the embraces are planned Like those we have already seen last year.
Fortunately, this is something that will not affect many televisions. Of course, nor at the Apple TV and the many smart televisions abound in our homes. These have become the Best option to watch TDTEven if the antenna and / or antenna cable are not available.
What happens to “Tdt backman”
We have been with television channels broadcast at 720p HD for several years, however, the stations have continued to have any channels at least definition (SD). It changed last year, because at that time, seeing him started on the SD channels and It is currently necessary to have an HD TV, at least, to watch the DTT. All channels are already broadcast in this resolution.
Well, we are now witnessing the start of the end of the HD channels. This year is starting a reorganization of the spectrum that we already know under the name of “Bru What of the TDT 2025”. And although you don't have to be alarmed yet, you must take into account What do these changes involve And when they are effective.
The fundamental idea is to Add new UHD channelsFor which the DVB-T2 standard will be adopted with Codec H.265 / HEVC. In this way, the 1 UHD canal will be added one of more RTVE, probably the 2 and two others for Mediaset and Atresmedia (one). So we will start to see More 4K showsBeing Telecinco and Antena 3 The main candidates to join the two major private companies.
The first phase of this reorganization will begin this year and This does not yet imply that HD channels disappear. You cannot see the highest definition of televisions which are not 4K, but as the emissions will be maintained in these other channels, there will be no power failure as such.
NOW, It will be in the second phase when a significant power failure will occur. There is still no date, but the complete transition to the DVB-T2 standard is already planned, which will imply that all the emissions will be in UHD. There, we will see a breakdown of electricity and the requirement will be to have a television with a 4K resolution.
Why an Apple TV (and the intelligent television) will have no problems
Beyond the streaming platforms that abound on smart televisions, who want to continue to enjoy linear television, do not have to have a DTT reception antenna. In addition, although the loss of quality is considerable, They can continue to see them in HD even when the 4K is the standard. And if you have an Apple TV and you didn't know, you will be interested in knowing how.
As in some smart televisions, on Android TV and even on the iPhone and iPad, it is possible to watch the DTT on Apple TV thanks to applications that include them. In this sense, it should be said that there is a certain delay concerning the dissemination of the cable, because an internet is executed. Therefore, it is also necessary to have a stable connection (either by cable or Wi-Fi), but not too much speed is not required.
Concerning What applications use to look at the DTTPersonally, I always recommend two, each with their advantages and disadvantages:
- 'Tdtchanels' (Available in App Store): Previously, it included the channels, it is now a Lista reader to which we must add those of the DTT manually, but it is a very simple process and it is one of the applications that best organize content and more stability in its emissions. On your website, there is more information. It should be said that it is completely free.
- 'Tivify' (Available in the App Store): This is the best known application, it also includes other free and even foreigners. However, in order to see the emissions from the Mediaset and Atresmedia channels, it is necessary to pay a subscription of at least 2.99 dollars per month.
