The head of the Kharkiv regional state administration Oleg Synegubov announced that television broadcasting has been restored in the region.
Specialists managed to restore part of the functionality of the TV tower, which was destroyed by the occupiers with a direct missile strike. For owners of T-2 digital television, instructions have been published on how to reconfigure their tuners and receive images. The head of the Regional State Administration claims that the work will continue in order to restore 100% of the signal that was there before the attack on the tower.
According to Synegubov, the strike did not lead to a critical situation, because cable and Internet television were fully available in Kharkiv itself. The border areas and small settlements, where there are restrictions on other types of signal, besides digital, were more affected.
We will remind you that the Russians hit the Kharkiv TV tower at the beginning of the week. The enemy used the Kh-59 missile for this.
