Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Starting next year, analog TV broadcasts will be turned off due to the Analog Switch Off (ASO) program.For those who do not have a digital TV set, there is no need to buy a new TV, but only a Digital TV Set Top Box (STB) device.STB is a device for capturing digital TV broadcasts.This device can be purchased with prices starting from Rp. 150 thousand per unit.The Ministry of Communications and Informatics has also certified a number of STB devices.Here's the list, quoted from the Digital Broadcast page, Thursday (11/18/2021):Meanwhile, the government will also distribute free digital TV STB to 6.7 million poor families.The Minister of Communications and Informatics, Johnny Plate, said that his party was preparing for the need."According to the temporary calculation of the integrated social welfare data (DTKS) from the Ministry of Social Affairs, 6.7 million poor households will experience analog migration to digital broadcasts. We are preparing those who really need it according to the previous stages," explained Johnny. , Tuesday (16/11/2021).So far the existence of digital tv STB is provided from MUX organizers as much as 4 million.Meanwhile, from the government budget 1 million STB.Unfortunately, this amount still does not meet the needs.Because there is still a shortage of 1.7 million more devices if you give it to 6.7 million poor families.However, the assistance is still in the calculation.This is because 6.7 million poor families come from data from the Ministry of Social Affairs and not the number of 6.7 million TV sets."The problem is that one family has 3 TV's, because the married family has become 3, who should be given it? It must be discussed in detail," explained Johnny.
