Four programs of the German public broadcasters ARD and ZDF will end up in classic SD resolution on the Astra satellite system (19.2°E).The deadline for turning off SD distribution is approaching, and broadcasters will notify viewers who have not yet switched to HD distribution of this step.From 15.11.2022, the ARD programs "ONE", "tagesschau24", as well as the joint stations with ZDF "phoenix" and "arte" will be available at position 19.2°E exclusively in HD resolution (HDTV).Even before the end of the old distribution, viewers will be properly informed about this step.from September 15, 2022, rotating text information about the end of SD distribution will be placed on all four listed stations.From November 15, 2022, these SD programs will be broadcast with text information overlaying the station's image, thus broadcasters will highlight the change in satellite distribution, which will then end before Christmas.Viewers can already tune in to programs in better technical quality - in HD resolution.The upgrade of satellite reception concerns only a fraction of satellite households, which are still using outdated set top boxes.A newer UHD/4K smart TV or HD/4K set top box will solve the problem with the reception of these programs, which viewers can continue to watch.technical parameters - ONE HD, tagesschau24 HD:• Astra (19.2°E), frequency 11.053 GHz, pole H, SR 22000, FEC 2/3, DVB-S2/8PSKtechnical parameters - phoenix HD:• Astra (19.2°E), frequency 11.582 GHz, pole H, SR 22000, FEC 2/3, DVB-S2/8PSKtechnical parameters - arte HD:• Astra (19.2°E), frequency 11.494 GHz, pole H, SR 22000, FEC 2/3, DVB-S2/8PSKsource: infosat.de + vl.info
