Digitalization
Test broadcasting of digital television will begin in less than a month. Almost half of households in Serbia will be able to receive the digital signal. Complete digitalization was first announced for April of this year, but the deadline will probably be extended – perhaps to 2015. Digitalization will mean new expenses for around 1.5 million households that have only aerial antennas, because they will have to purchase additional equipment or new TV sets. Shutting down of the analog signal and introduction of the digital signal will take place in phases during a period of around a year. Fully digital signal will be aired by the next year at the earliest, while the deadline for completion of the transition is June 2015.

Apart from redistributing or rebroadcasting TV programme, they usually also operate as internet service providers i.e. transmit data. Regarding the transition from the analog to digital terrestrial broadcasting of radio and television programme, it is important to note that users of cable television will not notice any change because cable providers will receive, process and adapt the signal to conditions under which users were already receiving their programmes – says a statement issued by the Association.
