Uruguay Set September 25 as the End of Analog Television Broadcasting
The government ordered the analog switch-off, and television will move to digital signal broadcasting. According to the Industry minister, the change will not affect those who already watch content through digital or satellite systems.
The government of Uruguay decreed the so-called analog switch-off, so television will stop being broadcast in analog format and will move to digital signal starting September 25.
According to Subrayado, the Minister of Industry, Fernanda Cardona, said this is a step the country had been postponing for more than 12 years because of technological differences that prevented setting a specific date.
The minister added that the decision was made after talks promoted through the National Telecommunications Directorate, with the agreement of all actors in the system.
For users, the change will be felt mainly among those who were still receiving the analog signal. Cardona said that those who already use satellite or digital services should not notice differences, while those who kept the previous technology will see an improvement in image quality.
