September 5 Vyazniky was given to start digital broadcasts. The first face of the city and the region together with the leadership of the regional branch of Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network” (RTRS) pressed a symbolic button to start Vyaznikovsky’s so-called first federal multiplex. In fact, the last Thursday in our territory for television, opened a new era.
Now without expensive satellite dishes all vyaznikovtsev have the opportunity to see ten channels in high digital quality. In the first multiplex included such as the federal channels Channel One, Russia 1, Russia 2, NTV, Channel Five, Russian-K-24, Russia, Carousel, Russian Public Television, TV Center, and 3 radio stations: Vesti FM, Radio Mayak, Radio Russia.
Thus, our district has become the second in the Vladimir region after Alexander’s district, where it was installed new transmission equipment and started digital broadcasting. The cost of the project – about ten million rubles. According to the municipal budget, such modernization does not hit. The transition to “figure” fully paid for from the federal treasury.
To begin taking a new television format most people will need to buy special boxes or TV sets compatible with standard DVB – T2. The cost of boxes varies depending on the manufacturer from a few hundred to a couple of
thousand. You can buy it now in the shops of the city, selling radios. Subscription fee-per-view channels will not be charged. It should be borne in mind that in the first multiplex not logged oblast and regional television and radio. So to see the Vladimir Vyaznikovskaya or news will once again “peretykat” cable to conventional analog TV. According to the plans of the Ministry of Communications of Russia, a place for regional broadcasters will still be provided, but only in the third multiplex. Preservation “in the figure” regional television channels broadcasting in cities with a population of less than 50 thousand people are not talking. Experts predict “RTRS” analog broadcast television in our country by the year 2017 should be completely replaced by digital. By this time all the inhabitants of Russia will be available to more than thirty channels.
