Full story Tivùsat to make DVB-S2 switch
Italian free-to-air platform tivùsat is to migrate all channels to the DVB-S2 encoding system.
The change will also see the Eutelsat-delivered service move from MPEG-2 to the more efficient MPEG-4. At the same time the majority of channels will move from standard definition to high definition.
Under the roadmap put forward by tivùsat, Sky, TV8 and Cielo will switch to MPEG-4 at the beginning of December, TGR Rai will make its debut on December 18, in MPEG-4, but in the SD format.
From January 2021 Mediaset channels La5, Iris, TGCom 24, Cine 34, Italia 2, Mediaset Extra, 20, Boing, Cartoonito, Focus, and Top Crime will switch formats, though flagship channels Canale 5, Rete 4 and Italia 1 will be among the last to switch.
