The emission centers will change the frequency of some broadcast channels, so that all users have to retune your TV to continue watching the same channels.
The communities of owners who have collective antenna they must also make the necessary adjustments in building facilities that amplify the reception of broadcast channels, and then retune. Users with access to the channels through service SAT-DTT will not be affected by this process.
How much will it cost?
The price of adaptation facilities TDT is not fixed or regulated, but it is determined by the market and is a private relationship between the client and the installation company. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry does not indicate a price, although advised to consult with several installers to compare multiple quotes.
