Switching to DVB-T2 in Poland: How Deko TV PRO2 handles it

Przełączanie na DVB-T2 w Polsce: Jak radzi sobie Deko TV PRO2

Introduction to switching to DVB-T2
In December 2023, Poland will move from DVB-T to the more modern DVB-T2 standard. This step is part of a broader plan to modernise the country’s digital infrastructure. The switch of MUX‑3 to DVB-T2/HEVC will take place in two stages between 14 and 19 December, with some TVP channels broadcast simultaneously in both standards for about a month. The change concerns multiplexes MUX‑1 and MUX‑3, and after 31 December 2023 broadcasting on MUX‑3 will be exclusively in DVB-T2.

Impact of the change on users
This change is crucial for terrestrial TV users. Older DVB-T receivers will not work with the new standard, which requires equipment upgrades. For many viewers, this means having to replace the TV or buy a suitable tuner/set-top box, such as Deko TV PRO2.

Deko TV PRO2 as the solution
In this context, a device like Deko TV PRO2 is the ideal solution – a tuner equipped with a DVB-T2 tuner head that allows you to receive digital terrestrial channels in the new DVB-T2 standard with the HEVC H.265 codec, as well as DVB-C cable TV channels.

Summary and next steps
Switching to DVB-T2 is an important step in modernizing digital TV in Poland. For users who don’t want to replace their TVs with new models, the best solution is to buy a tuner such as the Deko TV PRO2. This device not only allows older TVs to adapt to the new standards, but also offers additional features that enhance the terrestrial TV experience.
