Here’s a consolidated global overview of countries and regions where DVB‑T2 broadcasting still primarily uses H.264/AVC rather than H.265/HEVC. This list focuses on the current dominant codec for most channels, though some markets are in transition and may use H.265 for UHD or test services.
DVB‑T2 with H.264 as the Main Codec
| מדינה / אזור | Main Codec | Launch Year (DVB‑T2) | Transition Notes |

| אִיטַלִיָה | H.264 | 2015 | Gradual migration to H.265; most channels still H.264. |
| סְפָרַד | H.264 | 2018 (tests) | H.265 only in limited trials; H.264 dominant. |
| צָרְפַת | H.264 | 2016 (tests) | H.265 for 4K trials; HD still H.264. |

| גֶרמָנִיָה | H.265 (עַכשָׁיו) / H.264 (pre‑2017) | 2016 | Switched to H.265 for HD; some local channels still H.264. |
| פינלנד | H.265 | 2020 | New rollouts in H.265; older DVB‑T2 muxes in H.264. |
| הרפובליקה הצ'כית | H.265 | 2020 | Full migration to H.265. |

Trends
- H.264 remains dominant in countries that deployed DVB‑T2 before ~2015.
- H.265 adoption is growing in newer rollouts (לְמָשָׁל, פינלנד, הרפובליקה הצ'כית, updated German networks) to save spectrum.
- תְאִימוּת is a key factor: H.265 requires newer TV tuners/decoders, so many broadcasters keep H.264 for maximum audience reach.
לָכֵן, our car four-antenna DVB-T2 can still be used normally in the above countries. If you have any demand for high-speed mobile digital TVs, שֶׁלָנוּ DVB-T24-Y can meet your needs very well.
Advantages in H.264‑Dominant DVB‑T2 Markets
1. Full Compatibility with Existing Broadcasts
- In those countries, all or most DVB‑T2 multiplexes are H.264, so an H.264‑only receiver will decode every available channel without needing H.265 support.
- Avoids the risk of “black screen” issues that can occur if a receiver encounters unsupported H.265 streams.
2. Lower Processing Load & צריכת חשמל
- H.264 decoding requires less CPU/GPU power than H.265, which is important for in‑vehicle systems where thermal management and power draw matter.
- Reduced heat generation improves long‑term reliability in enclosed automotive installations.
3. Faster Channel Switching
- Lower codec complexity means quicker tune‑in and zapping times, which is noticeable when driving and switching between channels.
4. Better Performance in Weak Signal Conditions
- A 4‑antenna diversity system can combine signals from multiple antennas to mitigate multipath fading and Doppler effects common in moving vehicles.
- Since H.264 streams typically run at slightly lower compression efficiency than H.265, they can be more forgiving in marginal reception areas — fewer visible artifacts when bit errors occur.
5. חביון התחתון
- H.264 decoding pipelines generally have shorter end‑to‑end delay than H.265, which is beneficial for live events, navigation overlays, or synchronized multimedia in the car.
6. Cost Efficiency
- H.264‑only chipsets are זול יותר and more mature, reducing BOM (שטר חומרים) cost for the receiver.
- No need to license H.265/HEVC patents, which can lower manufacturing costs.
7. Proven Ecosystem & יַצִיבוּת
- H.264 DVB‑T2 receivers have been deployed for over a decade, so firmware, tuner modules, and demodulator ICs are well‑tested and stable.
- Easier integration with existing in‑car infotainment systems.
Why 4‑Antenna Diversity Matters
- Improved SFN (Single Frequency Network) קבלה: Many DVB‑T2 networks use SFN, and diversity reception helps resolve overlapping signals from multiple transmitters.
- Reduced dropouts at high speed: Essential for highway or urban driving where signal reflections change rapidly.
- Better fringe‑area coverage: Extends usable reception range before picture/audio degradation.
