But then the officials changed their minds and decided that the country needs a new and high-quality format – DVB-T2. And then it turned out that the use consoles and TVs with the receivers of the old generation can not be in it.

And recently, the city was rumored that the appropriate boxes will distribute for free. But in the transmission center assure that the government of such a law is not passed, which means “to improve your TV” on the house until you get it.
