The last stage of the introduction of DVB-T2/HEVC has started. The change covered persons living in the Lubelskie, Mazowieckie, Podlaskie and Warmińsko-Mazurskie voivodeships. This means that the whole of Poland has already been covered by the new terrestrial broadcasting standard. Residents of the above-mentioned provinces received RCB alerts earlier, which “warned” them about the upcoming change.
DVB-T2/HEVC. When is the TV suitable for replacement?
Is it necessary to purchase new equipment due to the entry into force of the new DVB-T2/HEVC broadcasting standard? Digital Poland experts reassure that not every receiver needs to be replaced immediately. TV viewers who bought after 2019 do not have to replace them.

“If the TV set cannot receive the DVB-T2/HEVC signal, its owner should purchase a new model or a special decoder” – the president of the Cyfrowa Polska Association. “It’s the right time to think about replacing older TV sets with new ones. For many recipients, this may mean a huge qualitative change related to better image and sound quality, or with an intelligent image that adjusts colors to the current room conditions. The technology of TV production has changed significantly in recent years changed,” he said.
The expert emphasized that when deciding to buy a set-top box, we must be aware that it will not allow us to take full advantage of the benefits of changing the broadcasting signal. “Such a device will enable us to receive a digital signal, but it will not improve the quality of image or sound” – he notes.
