for 1-2 years, the country will not use allocated frequencies, in 2015, they can be transferred to neighboring countries.
In accordance with an international agreement in June 2015 Kyrgyzstan has to go fully digital. In other words, from that day cease to be aired on TV channels that work with a conventional antenna. To view the channels will have to buy a small device – a receiver or buy a TV that supports digital TV.
In each region, there were a dozen or hundreds of digital TV channels. The picture quality is always good, despite the place of residence or the weather.
“There are other benefits,” – said the head of the Public Broadcasting Corporation Kubat Otorbaev .
– If the day will show a good movie, then you can in the morning to put it on record. You can record any program and watch them at your convenience. Our interactivity associated with the phones, and digital television, you can participate in voting, to express an opinion with the remote.
In addition, the border areas will no longer show the channels of neighboring countries, because the receiver will maintain the frequency of the only countries in which it operates.
National security concerns
But experts are concerned that we are far behind its neighbors in preparation for the transition to digital television. Failed to complete even half of the planned works. Until June 2015 less than two years, but it is still unclear which channels will score about two frequencies allocated to Bishkek, than they will fill the air.
“Broadcasting in digital format requires modern equipment, but have not bought anything yet,” – said a member of the interdepartmental commission digital Ernis Mamyrkanov .
– If, within 1-2 years, we will not take us to the selected frequency, they can get a neighbor. This is provided for in an international agreement. If Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan will not have enough frequencies, we will give them our frequencies. Here it is not just about information, but also to national security. We must not forget this.
At this time, discussion of the relationship between local and foreign channels. We also discuss the relation TV in Kyrgyz and Russian languages.
How to fill hundreds of frequencies?
According to experts, local TV stations can fill their products only twenty of the hundreds of allocated frequencies. The remaining frequencies can be filled by foreign channels.
Culture and Information Minister Sultan Rayev considers it wrong to oblige television channels broadcast their content to fill out and told about the initiative of opening independent production studios that will prepare them for the program.
– You can not blame everything on the staff of TV channels, and should be independent creative studio. The First Russian channel, only 25 percent of the content is owned TV channel. All the rest are preparing a production studio. Their materials keeps the whole Channel. We, too, should be so. The channel must deal with issues of politics, economics and news, and cultural, educational, youth, sports, and other products to produce a production studio.
Until now, the question remains open receivers, which cost two thousand soms. Should citizens to buy their receivers or the government will buy them at a low price. Will it be distributed free of charge to vulnerable families.
At this time, two working groups have addressed issues related to the transition to digital television. For technical questions are answered by the Ministry of Transport and Communications, the Ministry of Culture is engaged in content and information. According Rayeva to overcome the first stage in the transition to digital television will ask the government 600 million soms.
Kyrgyzstan signed the Geneva international agreement on the transition to digital television in 2006. Based on the agreement in 2011, the government passed a decree and plan training. In addition to content-based solutions and technical issues, changes are made in the six laws aimed at exercising control over digital television.
