On August 25, 2022, the second volume of analog TV will be implemented, aka Analog Switch Off (ASO) Phase 2. For people throughout Indonesia, this is how to check digital TV broadcasts in your area.The transition process from analog TV broadcasting to digital TV has been carried out since April 30, and is now entering the second stage.The total analog broadcasting is turned off entirely on November 2, 2022.Although it is taking place in stages, the Ministry of Communication and Information (Kominfo) said that people in various regions of the country have been able to try out digital TV broadcasts.This is thanks to simulcast broadcasts, namely analog and digital broadcasts that are carried out simultaneously."The presence of simulcast broadcasts so that people can move and can enjoy digital TV broadcasts right now," said Acting Director General of PPI, Ministry of Communications and Informatics, Ismail, some time ago.At the same time, multiplexing providers (mux) and Kominfo continue to distribute Set Top Box (STB) tools that will help analog TV catch digital TV broadcasts.Initially, those who were entitled to receive free digital TV set top box assistance were poor households that were included in the Social Welfare Integrated Data (DTKS) list of the Ministry of Social Affairs.In addition, they have a personal identity (KTP), their area is affected by ASO, and they have analog TV.This assistance is so that they can enjoy digital TV broadcasts, when analog TV is turned off.However, apparently, the government has added new criteria for the recipients of the free digital TV set top box, which also refers to the Ministry of Home Affairs."So, what is given is the extreme poor. For example, the extreme poor, for example, do not have a house, do not have a fixed income, and so on, there are already criteria," said Special Staff of the Minister of Communication and Information, Rosarita Niken Widiastuti.To enjoy digital TV broadcasts, first make sure that your television set is not an analog TV which is still a tube TV.In addition, another feature of this digital TV is that it supports DVB-T2.Actually, analog TV can capture digital TV broadcasts with the help of a device called a Set Top Box.For poor families, later the government will distribute it free of charge through the post office.The next stage, you can check the area where there is digital TV broadcasting via a browser, visit https://siarandigital.kominfo.go.id/information/institution- broadcasting.On this page, you can see broadcast coverage and areas that already have digital TV broadcasts.The next way is using the Digital TV Signal application which is much easier.This application not only helps to find out if your location has digital TV broadcasts, but also checks whether the digital TV signal is weak, bad, or even lost.This application is very appropriate to use before deciding to buy a DVB-T2 or STB DVB-T2 digital TV set.The method:
