[QUOTE="Pietclock, post: 780178, member: 376200"] This will get quite interesting come April. There are still over a million people using the analogue signals and hunderds (if not more) cable heads of hotels, hospitals etc. which use the analogue signals. Analogue satellite was very popular here, it practically replaced the terrestrial system (almost noone uses terrestrial TV today). End of this month (31 Dec 2011) the Viacom channels will stop analogue, also DMAX goes digital only. Some more channels are expected to leave during the following months. The main channels' ( ie ARD, ZDF, RTL, Sat1 etc) official switch off date is 30th of April, 3 o'clock in the morning. A few hours later, the new HD services will launch: Ex-ARD analogue TP will become digital DVB-S2 : ARD HD, arte HD, SWR HD. Ex-3sat analogue TP will carry DVB-S2: zdf.kultur HD, zdf.info HD, zdf.neo HD. Ex-NDR analogue TP will carry DVB-S2: NDR HD, BR HD, Phoenix HD. There will be more HD stuff on existing digital TPs, the other analogue TPs will go back to SES. They have a lot to lease then. It'll be interesting if that plan can survive when thousands will get static on their screens :D However they plan to "up the pressure" on people come January with permanent info crawlers etc. to disturb viewing on some channels.
