(ANSA) – ROME, JANUARY 03 – The new year opens in the sign of the switch off. After Sardinia – which reorganized its TV frequencies between November 15 and January 4 – now it’s up to Northern Italy. From 3 January, in fact, and until 9 March, time to re-tune the channels in Valle d’Aosta, Piedmont, Lombardy (except the province of Mantua) and in the provinces of Piacenza, Trento and Bolzano. And from February 9 to March 14, the Veneto, the province of Mantua, Friuli Venezia Giulia and Emilia Romagna take the field. Finally, on March 8, 2022, national TVs will activate the Mpeg-4 encoding, which will allow programs to be viewed in high quality only for those who have a TV that supports this technology, maintaining (if they wish) the simulcast of the old Mpeg-2 encoding but on numbers from 500 to 509.
For citizens who are not authorized to see the new digital terrestrial digital TV, the only thing left to do – also taking advantage of government bonuses – is to equip themselves with a new TV or decoder. In this scenario there is a platform that has already done its switch off, that the bouquet in high definition visual and sound has already tested and on which you can climb with a small investment. It is called TivùSat and it is the free Italian digital satellite platform created by Tivù srl. It has a bouquet with more than 160 channels, of which 60 in high definition (on digital terrestrial there are about ten) and seven in 4K (ultra HD). And then 40 radio channels. There is something for all tastes: entertainment, films, TV series, programs for children and teenagers, documentaries, news (also drawing on the great international broadcasters and 23 regional Rai news programs) and lots of free football made available above all by Rai and Mediaset. A truly broad television offer.
From 2009 to date, 4,440,000 TivùSat smart cards have been activated by users and Auditel estimates 2,777,000 TivùSat families active in their first homes. The platform is able to reach the whole national territory and transmits from the Hotbird satellites of the Eutelsat fleet (13 ° East). Also for this reason, in times of switch off, the goal of 5 million active cards seems to be really achievable in a relatively short period of time. To enter the world of TivùSat, just install a satellite dish, purchase a TivùSat certified device (decoder or Cam) and activate the smartcard that is inside the box. The TivùSat certified decoder is compatible with any type of TV and the cost varies from 120 to 160 euros, depending on the brands and services offered. The Cam, cost estimated from 90 to 110 euros, instead requires a new generation TV. A one-off expense, mitigated by the possibility of taking advantage of the TV bonus and above all lasting over time. (HANDLE).
