What is DVB-T?

DVB-T is an abbreviation for terrestrial digital TV broadcasting. TVs equipped with a DVB-T tuner or set-top box can receive this type of signal free of charge. How does DVB-T work and what are its benefits?

How does DVB-T work?

The DVB-T signal is transmitted from terrestrial transmitters and received by conventional antennas. When compared to an original analogue broadcast, DVB-T differs by transmitting the signal in a digital form. This allows you to transfer large amounts of data, even better images, radio stations and other add-ons such as program information and a variety of interactive services.

DVB-T replaced the analog signal in 2005, and one of the big advantages of this type of signal is the use of so-called multiplexes, also known as transmission networks. These are some TV and radio bundles that give DVB-T broadcast more programs. Another advantage is free broadcasting and better reception in a more remote or urban areas. Problems with DVB-T reception may occur due to LTE signal interference, but two simple solutions are antenna amplifiers or LTE filters .

What is the difference between DVB-T and DVB-T2?

DVB-T2 is an upgrade from the DVB-T standard. More modern versions of digital broadcasts have data that is compressed better, so they can transfer more data and deliver higher-resolution and multiple images. In order to receive any new or currently used broadcasting signal, you need to make sure you have a compatible DVB-T2 TVs or set-top boxes.
