A month ago, we informed you that the quality of TVP Entertainment has slightly improved. It was then that the broadcast in the resolution of 960×540 began. Previously, it was carried out in the resolution of 720×576. Now the TVP Entertainment channel is broadcast in HD resolution (1080p). The station, while changing the resolution, reduced the logotype.
In addition to TVP Entertainment, this multiplex also broadcasts: TVP Dokument HD, TVP Female HD and TVP Kultura HD. Recently, the TVP3 Warszawa HD station has also joined the MUX-5 digital terrestrial television. Successively, other TVP3 versions will appear in its place in subsequent regions of Poland. The process should be completed by the end of the year. MUX-5 reaches 90 percent. area of Poland.
Most HD stations soon
MUX-5 was launched to prepare Poles for the implementation of the DVB-T2 / HEVC standard for digital terrestrial television. If they receive channels broadcast on it, it means that their TV set or tuner is compatible with the new standard. The National Media Institute estimates that over 1.8 million households have to replace their equipment. These people can count on a government voucher in the amount of PLN 100 for the purchase of a set-top box or TV set.
DVB-T shutdown and the switch to DVB-T2 / HEVC will start in late March. First, it will cover the inhabitants of the Dolnośląskie and Lubuskie voivodeships, and successively the remaining parts of the country. The trial is expected to end at the end of June.
The DVB-T2 / HEVC standard allows you to broadcast more TV channels or improve their quality. TVN Discovery Group has decided that TVN, TVN7 and TTV will be available all over Poland in HD quality. Telewizja Polska has similar plans for all its terrestrial channels. For now, channels from MUX-8 will be broadcast in SD quality. These are Nowa TV, WP, Zoom TV and Metro.
