It seems that DVB-T technology is getting into “mature stage”. This technology of digital wireless broadcasting, which hasn’t reached its maximum exploitation yet, is experiencing competition from its direct descendant – the second generation of DVB, which is DVB-T2. The second generation of digital terrestrial (wireless) broadcasting offers the possibility to increase the capacity of the multiplexes for the broadcast of television contents. Compared with the actual digital television standard, DVB-T, the second generation provides increase of the capacity for between 30-50 percent in equivalent conditions for receiving and using the same antennas. Just for comparison, the current use of a multiplex, practically explained, represents broadcasting of nearly 10 TV- channels with a standard resolution (SD) or 5 TV channels in high resolution (HD). On the other hand, DVB-T technology will allow additional utilization of the capacities, so it will be possible to broadcast up to 15 channels in only one multiplex.
International Experiences with DVB-T2
What are the implications of DVB-T2 for countries where DVB-T services are already on air?
Situation in Macedonia and transition to DVB-T2
Image 2. BOOM TV and MB are DVB-operators in Macedonia
Since Macedonia was one of the countries, which have introduced DVB-T technology relatively early (2009), via the operator of digital terrestrial television – ONE- for the time being the standard adopted for the ONE’s network and the network of the MRT programss, operated by thePublic Enterprise - Macedonian Broadcasting, are from the first generation of DVB-T. The transition to DVB-T2 technology shouldn’t be very hard and expensive on the side of transmitters, further more because some companies offered software solutions on the market for upgrade of the broadcasting systems from DVB-T to DVB-T2.
The eventual change of the technology could become challenging on the receivers’ level: those who have already bought new TV sets, which are capable of receiving DVB-T signals, can’t receive DVB-T2. They will need additional receivers for conversion of the signal from DVB-T2.
