Everything seems to indicate that very soon viewers will have to prepare to tune in to DTT again. Although for some this may sound a bit cumbersome, the truth is that in reality the action would have a “prize”, if you want to call it that, that would make the effort worthwhile. And, for the first time in a long time, real news is coming.
Although there have been no significant changes within DTT for almost a decade, This 2025 will see the appearance of a new channel. And it won’t happen like what happened with Disney Channelwhich gave way to the new Squirrel channel (and can also continue to be seen in an “alternative” way), but on this occasion it would really be a full-fledged addition.
Why tune in to DTT again very soon
According to different media, the TDT is preparing to receive a new channel that, if everything goes as it seems, could be definitively awarded next May. Something much more significant than it might seem, since something like this has not happened in more than ten years. Something that will force you to tune in to DTT again at some point this year.
What not everyone knows is that To assign a new channel, it is necessary to first carry out a process that is not entirely simple.. To understand it, DTT channels operate under licenses that the State grants through public tenders. It is the government that must call them, always establishing the conditions and the number of frequencies available.
But things won’t end there. According to many experts, in 2025 it will be necessary to tune in to DTT again for a simple reason: that this begins to be broadcast in 4K UHD (as part of the transition to the DVB-T2 standard and the HEVC/H.265 codec). In a practical sense, this will mean four times greater definition, greater sharpness and more vivid colors in all broadcasts.
It must also be taken into account that this measure seems to have been imposed in a practically “obligatory” way, taking into account the competition that the vast majority of streaming platforms represent. It cannot be overlooked that options like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video or Disney+ already offer 4K contentso following in their wake seems fundamental for DTT.
The “forced” evolution of DTT
Although it is not yet known in detail what the changes made by DTT will be like this year, it is very possible that, beyond forcing you to tune in again, some other processes will be necessary. Without going any further, some frequencies should be reorganized to free up space for the new 4K channels. This will require retuning of the televisions by users.
Besides, The most logical thing would be to think that the change to 4K is made progressively. Initially, channels in HD and 4K resolution would coexistallowing users time to adapt. In the long run, in any case, it is quite likely that the small effort will be worth it, at least from a viewing quality point of view.
