Gradually, the cessation of analog TV broadcasts in Indonesia has begun, which will later be transferred to digital TV broadcasts.To be able to capture digital TV broadcasts, it is necessary to support devices that have DVB-T2 specs.What is DVB-T2?DVB-T2 which stands for Digital Video Broadcasting - Second Generation Terrestrial (DVB-T2) is a digital terrestrial transmission system developed by the DVB project.It became the latest broadcast transmission standard for digital TV.Whether it's a set top box (STB) device or digital TV, there must be DVB-T2 in order to be able to capture digital TV broadcasts.So, people must know this so they don't buy the wrong device."On April 30 at 24.00 WIB, the permanent closure of analog television broadcasts and the commencement of full digital fixed broadcasting of television, the public can follow the existing instructions from television broadcasts if the equipment does not meet the requirements or DVB-T2," said Minister of Communications and Informatics Johnny G. Plate some time ago.In April 2007, DVB-T2 technology began to be commercialized as a replacement for the first generation DVB.DVB-T2 has been widely adopted by countries in Europe and Asia, including Indonesia.DVB-T2 applies the latest modulation and coding techniques to enable highly efficient use of terrestrial spectrum for the delivery of audio, video and data services to fixed, portable and mobile devices.There are a number of improvements that this technology brings from its predecessors.Compared to the first generation DVB, DVB-T2 has at least 30 to 50% higher transmission capacity and better SFN performance.When compared to Analog TV, DVB-T2 is completely unaffected by the weather.With DVB-T2, you can enjoy digital TV channels with HD quality for free.The number of digital channels captured will depend entirely on whether the antenna signal is strong or not.Currently, many televisions are already integrated with DVB-T2, so you can directly enjoy Digital TV broadcasts.But if the television set does not have this technology support, you can install an affordable STB that is sold at online stores.Even though you can receive digital TV broadcasts, you still have to install the antenna as before, but you don't need to replace it with an antenna.It's just that the installation and use of the antenna for DVB-T2 is very simple compared to analog TV.The public can install indoor antennas on devices that support DVB-T2.But according to some practitioners, if you use an external UHF antenna, the number of digital channels you receive can be much higher.For information, although ASO Phase 1 was implemented last April 30.However, the cessation of analog TV broadcasts has only been carried out in eight regencies/cities out of 166 regencies/cities.The eight regencies/cities in question are Riau (Dumai City, Bengkalis Regency, Meranti Islands Regency), East Nusa Tenggara (North Middle East Regency, Belu Regency, Malacca Regency), and West Papua (Sorong City, Sorong Regency).After that, the migration of analog TV to digital or ASO Phase 2 will be carried out on August 25, 2022, covering 31 broadcast areas in 110 regencies/cities and ASO Phase 3 on November 2, 2022 in 25 broadcast areas in 63 regencies/cities.
