The Hungarian government has approved a proposal on the strategic aims and government tasks related to the changeover to digital terrestrial broadcasting.

The advantages of digital TV broadcasting and the currently ongoing developments in the field of digital television in the European Union have prompted the Hungarian government to start preparations for the changeover, said the Ministry of Information Technology in a statement.

According to the approved proposal, the government will primarily focus on completing the legislative work necessary for the start of services and securing the required broadcasting frequencies. If the legal environment and the necessary infrastructure are in place, digital TV broadcasting services can start in Hungary’s densely populated areas as early as in 2007. After coverage of the digital service has been expanded to the entire country, the currently operating analogue system will be shut down in 2012.

According to the government’s plans, analogue broadcasting will continue after the start of digital broadcasting, allowing the population a long period for switching to the new technology. Seeking advantages of the digital technology, a number of EU member states have started preparations for introducing terrestrial digital TV broadcasting. The International Telecommunications Union has started drafting plans for allocating digital broadcast frequencies in Europe.

Terrestrial digital TV broadcasting offers a wider program range and better voice and picture quality than analogue broadcasting, while it allows for mobile reception and new, interactive services. Digital broadcasting offers a number of advantages on the long run. As a result of digital broadcasting, competition is expected to intensify, energy consumption of transmission infrastructure will fall, and the cost of broadcasting can be reduced. The new infrastructure will help development of an information-based society by allowing access to broadband data services to anybody regardless of economic or social status, said the ministry in its statement.
