You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.85.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''digital television transition''', also called the '''digital switchover''' ('''DSO'''), the '''analogue switch/sign-off''' ('''ASO'''), the '''digital migration''', or the '''analogue shutdown''', is the process in which older [[Analog television|analogue television]] broadcasting technology is converted to and replaced by [[digital television]]. Conducted by individual nations on different schedules, this primarily involves the conversion of analogue [[terrestrial television]] broadcasting infrastructure to [[Digital terrestrial television|digital terrestrial]] (DTT), a major benefit being extra frequencies on the [[radio spectrum]] and lower broadcasting costs, as well as improved viewing qualities for consumers.

The transition may also involve [[Cable television|analogue cable]] conversion to [[digital cable]] or [[Internet Protocol television]], as well as analog to digital satellite television. Transition of land based broadcasting had begun in some countries around 2000. By contrast, transition of satellite television systems was well underway or completed in many countries by this time. It is an involved process because the existing analogue [[Television set|television receivers]] owned by viewers cannot receive digital broadcasts; viewers must either purchase new digital TVs, or [[Digital television adapter|digital converter boxes]] which have a digital tuner and change the digital signal to an analog signal or some other form of a digital signal (i.e. [[HDMI]]) which can be received on the older TV. Usually during a transition, a [[simulcast]] service is operated where a broadcast is made available to viewers in both analogue and digital at the same time. As digital becomes more popular, it is expected that the existing analogue services will be removed. In most places this has already happened, where a broadcaster has offered incentives to viewers to encourage them to switch to digital. Government intervention usually involves providing some funding for broadcasters and, in some cases, monetary relief to viewers, to enable a switchover to happen by a given deadline. In addition, governments can also have a say with the broadcasters as to what digital standard to adopt – either [[DVB-T]], [[ATSC standards|ATSC]], [[ISDB#ISDB-T|ISDB-T]], or [[Digital Terrestrial Multimedia Broadcast|DTMB]]. Governments can also require all receiving equipment sold in a country to support the necessary digital 'tuner'.

Before digital television, PAL and NTSC were used for both video processing within TV stations and for broadcasting to viewers. Because of this, the switchover process may also include the adoption of digital equipment using [[serial digital interface]] (SDI) on TV stations, replacing analogue PAL or NTSC component or composite video equipment. Digital broadcasting standards are only used to broadcast video to viewers; Digital TV stations usually use SDI irrespective of broadcast standard, although it might be possible for a station still using analogue equipment to convert its signal to digital before it is broadcast, or for a station to use digital equipment but convert the signal to analogue for broadcasting, or they may have a mix of both digital and analogue equipment. Digital TV signals require less transmission power to be broadcast and received satisfactorily.<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.itu.int/dms_pub/itu-r/opb/rep/R-REP-BT.2140-3-2011-PDF-E.pdf |title=Report ITU-R BT.2140-3: Transition from analogue to digital terrestrial broadcasting |date=May 2011 |publisher=BT Series Broadcasting service |access-date=22 February 2022))</ref>

The switchover process is being accomplished on different schedules in different countries; in some countries it is being implemented in stages as in Australia, Greece, India or Mexico, where each region has a separate date to switch off. In others, the whole country switches on one date, such as the Netherlands.<ref name="nbcnews.com">((cite web|url=http://www.nbcnews.com/id/16154569/ns/technology_and_science-tech_and_gadgets/t/dutch-pull-plug-free-analog-tv/ |title=Dutch pull plug on free analog TV |first=Toby |last=Sterling |date=11 December 2006 |publisher=MSNBC |access-date=25 May 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180526041802/http://www.nbcnews.com/id/16154569/ns/technology_and_science-tech_and_gadgets/t/dutch-pull-plug-free-analog-tv/|archive-date=26 May 2018|url-status=live))</ref> On 3 August 2003, [[Berlin]] became the world's first city to switch off terrestrial analogue signals.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/11/03/business/technology-german-way-to-go-digital-no-dawdling.html |title=TECHNOLOGY; German Way To Go Digital: No Dawdling|first=Mark|last=Landler|date=3 November 2003|work=The New York Times|access-date=25 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180526043345/https://www.nytimes.com/2003/11/03/business/technology-german-way-to-go-digital-no-dawdling.html|archive-date=26 May 2018|url-status=live))</ref> [[Luxembourg]] was the first country to complete its terrestrial switchover, on 1 September 2006.<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/publications/mapping-digital-media-how-television-went-digital-netherlands |title=Mapping Digital Media: How Television Went Digital in the Netherlands |publisher=Open Society Foundations |date=September 2011 |first=Bart |last=van der Sloot |access-date=14 August 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190814233652/https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/publications/mapping-digital-media-how-television-went-digital-netherlands |archive-date=14 August 2019 |url-status=live))</ref>

Different standards have been developed for the broadcast transmission of digital terrestrial television, comparable to the older analog standards they replace: [[NTSC]], [[PAL]] and [[SECAM]]. Broadcasters around the world choose and adopt one of these to be the format and technology behind the transmission. The standards are:
*The European-made [[DVB-T]], adopted by most of Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania.
*The American-made [[ATSC standards|ATSC]], adopted by much of the Americas and some of Asia and Oceania.
*The Japanese-made [[ISDB#ISDB-T|ISDB-T]], adopted by some in Asia, most of South America, and a few in Africa.
*The Chinese-made [[Digital Terrestrial Multimedia Broadcast|DTMB]], adopted by some in Asia and a few in Africa and the Americas.

===2006 Geneva Agreement===
The "[[Regional Radiocommunication Conference#RRC-04.2F06|RRC-06]]" agreement in [[Geneva]] (hosted by the [[International Telecommunication Union]] (ITU)) was signed by delegates from many countries, including most of Europe, Africa and Asia. The agreement set 17 June 2015 as the date after which countries may use frequencies currently assigned for analog television transmission for digital services (specifically [[DVB-T]]), without being required to protect the analog services of neighbouring countries against interference. This date was generally viewed as an internationally mandated analog switch-off date, at least along national borders<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.digitag.org/ASO/ASOHandbook.pdf |title=DigiTAG Analog Switch Off Handbook |year=2008 |access-date=13 May 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110928183704/http://www.digitag.org/ASO/ASOHandbook.pdf |archive-date=28 September 2011 |url-status=dead))</ref>—except for those operating on the [[Very high frequency|VHF]] band which would be allowed until 17 June 2020.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-R/terrestrial/Pages/by-categories-faq.aspx?maincategorizedby=14|title=Terrestrial Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Browse by categories|website=itu.int|access-date=30 September 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190930004908/https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-R/terrestrial/Pages/by-categories-faq.aspx%3Fmaincategorizedby%3D14|archive-date=30 September 2019|url-status=live))</ref>((Update inline|date=October 2020|reason=))

The [[European Commission]], on a different note, had recommended on 28 October 2009 that digital switchover should be completed by 1 January 2012.<ref>((cite web |url=http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2009:308:0024:0026:EN:PDF |title=Official Journal of the European Union |website=eur-lex.europa.eu |date=28 October 2009 |access-date=13 January 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130522042627/http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2009:308:0024:0026:EN:PDF |archive-date=22 May 2013 |url-status=live))</ref>

===Digital-to-analog converters===
((main|Digital television adapter))
Analog-only TVs are incapable of receiving over-the-air broadcasts without the addition of a set-top converter box. Consequently, a digital converter box – an electronic device that connects to an [[analog television]] – must be used to allow the television to receive [[Digital data|digital]] broadcasts. In the United States, the government subsidized the purchase of such boxes for consumers via their [[coupon-eligible converter box]] program in 2009, funded by a small part of the billions of dollars brought in by a [[spectrum auction]]. The program was managed by the Department of Commerce through its [[National Telecommunications and Information Administration]].

Televisions with integrated digital tuners have been available for a considerable time. This means that a set-top box is usually no longer necessary with a new TV set.

===Satellite and cable===
Satellite broadcasting switched to digital much earlier than terrestrial broadcasting. The switchover process is much easier for satellite since only changes to the earth station equipment are needed on the transmission side and consumers are already used to having a set top box/decoder. In many places, the satellite switchover was complete before terrestrial switchover was even started. Cable on the other hand would switch off months, if not years after terrestrial would.

In countries where terrestrial is little used, the migration to digital satellite or cable is more realized. For instance, in Switzerland or the UAE, where terrestrial has low usage, the terrestrial switchover was not noticed by the general population. But in countries where terrestrial is the dominant method of watching TV, like Japan, Spain or Thailand, the switchover is a big deal as it affects the majority of the population.

The switch-off was noticed by few, since the overwhelming majority receive TV via cable and only around 74,000 households relied on terrestrial over-the-air broadcasts.<ref name="nbcnews.com" /> The switch-off was helped greatly as cable continued to use analog distribution, and thus consumers' old tuners continued to be useful.

* ((flag|Poland)): Terrestrial television in Poland is broadcast using a digital DVB-T system. First test [[DVB-T]] emission was carried in [[Warsaw]] at 9 November 2001. In April 2004, first [[DVB-T]] transmitter near [[Rzeszów]] started operation, and local [[Telewizja Polska|TVP]] division started to market [[set-top box]]es allowing to receive it. The shutdown of analog broadcasts took place in 7 steps from 7 November 2012 to 23 July 2013 when analog terrestrial transmissions were completely terminated. Analog broadcasts on satellite ended when [[TVN (Polish TV channel)|TVN]] stopped its analog transmission on the [[Hot Bird]] 13°E satellite in 2008. Later, in early 2022, most of TV markets ([[Polsat]], TVN, [[TV Puls]], etc.) switched into the [[DVB-T2]] [[High Efficiency Video Coding|HEVC]], while TVP, due to [[Russian invasion of Ukraine|invasion of Ukraine]], did it on December 15 (west) and December 19 (east), 2023.

* ((flag|Portugal)): Digital terrestrial broadcasts started on Wednesday, 29 April 2009. Portugal's government hoped to cover 80% of the territory with digital terrestrial TV by the end of 2009, and simulcasts remained until Thursday, 26 April 2012, when the analog broadcasting ended. This switchover began on Thursday 12 January 2012. Analog cable is still available from all pay-TV providers (including fiber), for homes with multiple televisions. In December 2022, plans have been made to close analog cable signals. In late April 2023, viewers would see a message announcing the end of this kind of analog broadcasting on 3 May 2023, unless they bought a set-top box and/or scanned digital signals. The digital versions of all channels have traditionally been encrypted and could only be accessed with a proprietary set-top-box, which subscribers had to pay for with a monthly fee. Starting in October 2017, cable provider NOS unencrypted the digital versions of its base channels, enabling them to be tuned directly by televisions with support for MPEG-4 (or digital terrestrial) or any freely available digital tuner.<ref>((Cite news|url=https://www.dinheirovivo.pt/empresas/750-mil-clientes-nos-com-tv-sem-box-terao-acesso-a-110-canais-sem-mais-custos-2/|title=750 mil clientes NOS com TV sem box terão acesso a 110 canais sem mais custos|date=10 October 2017|work=Dinheiro Vivo|access-date=31 July 2018|language=pt-PT|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180731153850/https://www.dinheirovivo.pt/empresas/750-mil-clientes-nos-com-tv-sem-box-terao-acesso-a-110-canais-sem-mais-custos-2/|archive-date=31 July 2018|url-status=live))</ref> Channels belonging to subscription packs, as well as premium channels, still require a proprietary set top box to be viewed.
