Transition to TsETV, pluses for the population, TV and radio companies and the state

The implementation of the State Program "Digital Kazakhstan" is one of the priority tasks today. Within the framework of this program, a project is being actively implemented to introduce digital terrestrial television broadcasting in Kazakhstan.

Today, digital broadcasting comes to every home. The decision to implement it is due to technological progress. Therefore, analog television has practically become obsolete, as it is inferior in all respects to the digital format, which is being introduced on a global scale.

The viewer benefits from the transition from analog to digital TV, getting access to more channels than ever before. In addition, DTVB provides high quality picture and sound. Here, unlike the "analogue", the image is not interrupted, the sound does not disappear. It is exactly the same as satellite or cable TV, but differs from them in that digital terrestrial television is absolutely free. To connect to it, you need to make sure that the TV supports the DVB-T2 digital broadcasting standard, the subscriber will only have to connect a decimeter antenna. If the TVs do not support the DVB-T2 standard, then you need to purchase a digital signal receiver. It should be noted that from 15 to 30 standard definition channels will become available to residents of cities and villages.

As part of digital television broadcasting, Kazakhstani schoolchildren today have the opportunity to study from video lessons broadcast on Balapan and El Arna TV channels. Teleclasses are held in high quality image and sound, allowing children to gain new knowledge in an online format. The educational function of TV acquired particular relevance during the period of quarantine announced due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Students can also watch video lessons using the GALAM TV Internet application. It is available on all popular platforms Web, iOS, Android, Smart TV and STB. GALAM TV is very convenient to use, the student can watch the video lesson again at any time. It is also possible to pause the broadcast and watch it later. Another advantage of GALAM TV is a reminder to watch TV lessons a day before, an hour before, or before the start of the broadcast.

And this is not all the advantages of digitalization. One of its advantages will be an increase in the number of television and radio programs throughout the country, while there will be a significant release of radio frequencies for the needs of government agencies that operate radio-electronic facilities and high-frequency devices, and electricity consumption will be reduced. And this, in turn, will significantly save the state budget.

Digital television is being phased in, but experts already predict that it will give impetus to the development of new service markets and a new round of channel marketing struggle.
