It should be quoted that after switching off the DVB-T transmitter, it will be necessary to search television programs on the receiver again so that they can be viewed in the DVB-T2/h.265 HEVC system. This will also have to be done if we are already watching HD programs in the new system because the current television channels (frequencies) for transmission will be replaced by the final one after the simultaneous operation of DVB-T and DVB-T2 systems on a particular transmitter is completed.
This transition applies only to those citizens who watch digital terrestrial television. All those watching the television through other platforms (IPTV, cable television, satellite television) will not have to change their reception equipment, nor will the transition in any way affect them.
All those who have televisions more than 3years or TV aimed to watch terrestrial TV, use standalone receivers purchased to watch terrestrial television, will certainly need to have new receiver equipment. If users are not sure if their equipment supports the new DVB-T2 system, or if this is not clearly indicated on the devices, it is proposed to search the channels again and verify that the detected channels of Croatian national television have the “HD” sign in the corner. The label indicates that the image is in high resolution and that they receive a new DVB-T2 signal, not the old DVB-T. The price of cheaper individual receivers today ranges between 150 and 200 HRK but if users have old TV that can display the image only in a standard resolution (quality), instead of acquiring an independent receiver, they can also consider of buying a new television capable of showing the image installed on their old television, otherwise the image will still be shown in its previous quality despite the new independent receiver.
