2022In Poland, the process of changing the digital terrestrial television standard to DVB-T2 / HEVC is underway.For people with older set-top boxes or TV sets, it comes with the risk of losing most commercial channels.In this guide, we advise you on how to prepare for the new standard and profit from the change.From the end of March, more regions are switching to the DVB-T2 / HEVC standard.This operation is similar to the one from nearly a decade ago, when analog TV was replaced by digital.Back then, people with older TV sets had to invest in a tuner to continue watching their favorite channels.Via analogue, you could only watch TVP1, TVP2 and Polsat all over Poland.In larger cities, TVN, TV Puls, TVP3 / TVP Info and TV4 were also available.In 2013, thanks to broadcasting in digital standard, all commercial stations gained nationwide coverage and additional channels could appear on terrestrial television: TVN7, TV6, Puls 2, Fokus TV, ATM Entertainment, Eska.TV, Polo.TV, TVP ABC, Stopklatka.TV and later also TV Trwam.The current change is the transition to second-generation terrestrial television.By switching from DVB-T to DVB-T2 / HEVC, all channels are broadcast in high definition (HD), not just standard (SD).In the future, it is possible to launch additional thematic stations.Telewizja Polska plans to start broadcasting TVP4K this year with entertainment content and matches of the World Cup in Qatar, TVP Nauka and possibly TVP Muzyka.However, data from the National Media Institute shows that 1.32 million households have older TV sets or tuners that do not support DVB-T2 / HEVC.In the following voivodeships: Dolnośląskie, Lubuskie, Zachodniopomorskie, Wielkopolskie, Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Pomorskie, Łódzkie, Małopolskie, Świętokrzyskie, Podkarpackie, Śląskie and Opolskie, these viewers could already lose access to, among othersTVN, Polsat, TV Puls and TV Trwam.Residents of the Lubelskie, Podlaskie, Warmińsko-Mazurskie and a large part of Mazowieckie voivodships are threatened from Monday, June 27 this year.How to check if the tuner or TV supports DVB-T2 / HEVC?People who live in provinces where the standard has already changed can simply check what TV channels work for them.If these are only: TVP1 HD, TVP2 HD, TVP3, TVP Info HD, TVP Sport HD, TVP Historia, Metro, WP, Zoom TV, Nowa TV, TVP Woman and TVP Kultura HD, and earlier there were many more channels, then the equipment is obsolete and must be replaced to regain access to other stations.Residents of regions where the change took place on Monday can try to receive channels from the experimental MUX-5 of Telewizja Polska.It reaches 90 percent.area of ​​Poland.There are available: TVP3 Warszawa HD, TVP HD Entertainment, TVP HD Document, TVP Kultura HD, TVP Female HD and TVP HD Document.As new TVs and set-top boxes automatically scan the channel list.On older hardware, you can try scanning through the decoder menu.If the receiver "sees" TVP Document HD, there is picture and sound, then our TV set or set-top box is ready for the new standard, because this channel is not available on any multiplexes operating in the old standard.Why, despite the change of the standard, the TVP channels operate?Originally also MUX-3, where TVP1, TVP2, TVP Info and TVP Sport are available, was to switch to the DVB-T2 / HEVC standard together with other broadcasters.Many viewers of digital terrestrial television therefore feel confused.Their region has changed the standard, and despite many reminding spots of this operation, also broadcast on public television, its main channels are still available.In March this year.The minister of internal affairs and administration applied to the president of the Office of Electronic Communications for a permit to issue MUX-3 in the old standard by the end of 2023.The request was made in connection with the war in Ukraine.MUX-3 is accompanied by the Regional Warning System.The head of UKE agreed to it.Therefore, Telewizja Polska can offer selected channels on DVB-T.They have been offered in HD quality for a long time, so viewers cannot complain about the poor picture quality.When will TVP switch to DVB-T2 / HEVC?The public broadcaster does not reveal what needs to happen for this to happen.It has the right, but does not have to broadcast in the old standard until the end of next year.4K broadcasts from the World Cup in Qatar may encourage viewers to invest in the replacement of equipment.He will show them in November and December this year.TVP 4K channel, which will be available via terrestrial.Is it necessary to replace the antenna when switching to DVB-T2 / HEVC?If our antenna installation worked properly in the case of the DVB-T standard, it will probably be the same with DVB-T2 / HEVC.The exception may be selected locations where the location of the transmitter has changed by the way.For example, Emitel resigned from using the Łódź "Komin EC-4" facility.Some may need to redirect the receiving antennas, depending on the location, to the transmitting facilities (RTCN) Zygry and (SLR) Łódź / Dąbrowa.The problem mainly affects people who watched TV thanks to the room antenna in the center of Łódź.Room antennas are not the best solution for stable terrestrial TV reception.It happens that in good propagation conditions all channels broadcast on multiplexes work, and in worse conditions the signal disappears or some multiplexes cannot be picked up at all without being moved to another place.Then an investment in an external antenna may be a good solution.Many companies all over the country install them.In border regions, such specialists are able to install the antenna in such a way that nearly 100 stations can be received.Not only from Poland, but also from the Czech Republic and Germany, for example.Does the change in the terrestrial TV standard affect subscribers of cable networks and satellite platforms?Not applicable.If someone is a subscriber to, for example, the cable network UPC Polska, Vectra or the Polsat Box, Canal + or Orange satellite platform, then they can continue to watch all channels via the set-top box used so far.Cable operators broadcast channels in DVB-C and DVB-C2 standards, while satellite ones in DVB-S and DVB-S2.DVB-T and DVB-T2 / HEVC are digital terrestrial television standards.Due to the social campaigns on the antennas of many stations regarding the change of digital terrestrial television standards, there are embarrassed subscribers of pay TV operators who call the hotline of these companies and ask if they will be able to watch their channels.Some operators have also prepared promotions for people who would like to give up terrestrial reception in favor of cable, satellite or IPTV when changing the standard.How to use the government funding for a set-top box or TV set?People who have equipment incompatible with DVB-T2 / HEVC and do not want to buy a new one themselves can benefit from government funding.They are entitled to a voucher of PLN 100 for a set-top box or PLN 250 for a TV set.So far, over 300,000 such applications have been submitted.and as much as 85 percent.of them concern decoders.The voucher can be obtained online via government websites or employees of the Polish Post.Applications will be accepted until the end of the year.It is possible to get one voucher in the household.The person who has been awarded the grant receives a special code (sent by e-mail in the case of electronic means or a printout at a Polish Post office), with which he can go to one of the stores participating in the program (including MediaMarkt, MediaExpert, Neonet , Euro RTV AGD) and purchase the equipment that interests her.There are no TV sets that cost PLN 250, so in this case, such a consumer can count on a discount of this amount.It depends on our financial capabilities.For those who are economical and those who bought a new TV just a few years ago and do not want to invest in a new one, a better option will be to buy a set-top box.However, the possibilities of tuners, especially around PLN 100, are very limited.Thanks to them, you can watch channels in HD quality, use the electronic program guide (EPG), but you cannot find equipment with a hard disk or hybrid TV (HbbTV) at this price.Due to the transition to DVB-T2 / HEVC, Polish broadcasters are increasingly willing to invest in such services.HbbTV allows TV stations to offer additional applications.These can be video-on-demand services (eg TVP GO and Polsat GO), but also interactive polls, quizzes, a TV program with photos, advertising services, catch up TV (the possibility of withdrawing programs broadcast on a given channel to a week).To use these functions, the TV or, less frequently, a set-top box must be connected to the Internet.According to the ordinance of the Ministry of Digitization, all tuners connected to the Internet must support HbbTV.Otherwise, the sellers face a penalty.It is often too expensive for manufacturers.If there was no requirement for hybrid TV, cheap terrestrial tuners, e.g. from Android TV, could be offered on the market, such as the discontinued Canal + 4K Box.In popular stores, most tuners can be purchased in the price range of PLN 99 - PLN 200.Most often they allow you to record programs after connecting a USB flash drive or an external disk.Often, set-top boxes can also function as a media player.On the TV, thanks to them, you can play a holiday movie (if it is available in one of the supported formats), view photos or listen to mp3s.It is possible thanks to the TV tuner Manta DVBT018, a Polish equipment supplier (PLN 99.99) or Opticum Nytrobox NS H.265 DVB-T2 / HEVC / H.265, offered at the same price.People who do not want the new purchase to be placed next to the TV set can opt for a small Thomson THT82 TV adapter (PLN 159.99).Just plug it into the back of your TV and enjoy the benefits of the new digital terrestrial television standard.More advanced devices can be found in more professional stores, which, for example, sell satellite equipment or on auction platforms.They are more expensive because they cost several hundred zlotys.They can handle both terrestrial and satellite or cable signals, or have the built-in Android TV operating system and, for example, a hard drive that allows many hours of recording.Terrestrial recipients who are considering choosing a more expensive set-top box should also consider the purchase of a TV set.In electronics stores, almost every model has a sticker "Ready for DVB-T2 / HEVC".For less than PLN 2,000 or close to this price, you can buy decent equipment that, in addition to receiving digital terrestrial television in the new standard, will give you the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of Smart TV, and sometimes even allow you to watch content in 4K quality.See also: New TVs getting more and more expensive."The problem with supply chains"For example, the 43-inch Xiaomi Mi LED TV P1 UHD with the Android TV operating system, 4K support, terrestrial, satellite and cable tuners can be purchased for PLN 1499 - PLN 1899 depending on the store.Its cheaper 32-inch counterpart without 4K, but with Android TV for less than PLN 1000.Samsung UE43TU7022K, also supporting 4K with the Tizen operating system, costs less than PLN 1,500.Streaming platforms such as Netflix, Disney +, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max, Canal + online, Polsat Box Go, Player or Viaplay and their 4K content can be a perfect complement to the terrestrial offer.Dear User, We use technologies such as cookies on our
