Thailand DVB-T2 vil være tilgængelig i 11 provinser inden juni, VCAN Car DVB-T2 testet og hot-salg.

I juni, mennesker i 11 key provinces – half of the country’s 22 million TV-equipped households – will be able to watch public and commercial channels on digital terrestrial television after its official launch on April 1, ifølge National Broadcasting og telekommunikation Kommissionen. Dette blev afsløret efter NBTC 's udsendelse udvalget i går godkendte resultaterne af sidste måneds auktion over 24 commercial digital TV licenses.

I april, beboere i Bangkok, Nakhon Ratchasima, Chiang Mai, and Songkhla will be the first group in the Kingdom to experience this new digital service. Natee Sukonrat, formand for udvalget, sagde dette ville omfatte alle 24 kommercielle kanaler og nogle i det offentlig-udsendelse kategori. I maj, beboere i Ubon Ratchathani, Surat Thani, and Rayong will get access to this cutting-edge broadcasting service, og folk i Sing Buri, Sukhothai, Khon Kaen, and Udon Thani will get the chance in June. Nate said the order in which various provinces were earmarked to receive the service was determined in accordance with the digital roll-out plan proposed by the four state-run operators of the existing analog networks. Det er den kongelige hær, the operator of TV5; MCOT, the operator of Moderne TV; Public Relations, der løber NBT kanal; og Thai Public Broadcasting service (Thai PBS).

Under the NBTC’s “must carry” rule, subscribers to cable and satellite TV services will also be able to view the new terrestrially based digital channels – 12 offentlige og 24 kommerciel. Ikke alene vil mere end halvdelen af ​​den 22 millioner husstande i landet, der ejer et tv kunne nyde de nye digitale kanaler, they will also be provided a Bt690 discount coupon by the NBTC for the purchase of either a set-top box or an integrated digital TV (IDTV) sæt. Denne tilskudsordning er rettet mod at forkorte overgangen fra analog til digital. The broadcasting committee aims to distribute discount coupons to households in the rest of the country over the next four years.

Imidlertid, Natee sagde hans panel ville drøfte med udvalget af NBTCs forskning og udvikling fond en stigning i værdien af ​​de rabatkuponer til at dække de kombinerede priserne på set-top-bokse og antenner.
