Ofcom announces revised technical code for DTT
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 09, 2016. Click to read more


Ofcom has confirmed a number of changes to the technical code that underpins digital terrestrial TV, with ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 now free to choose a lower picture resolution on their Freeview standard definition channels.

The technical code was the subject of a consultation earlier this year, with the document needing to be updated to remove references to analogue TV, four years after the last analogue terrestrial TV transmissions were turned off.

"We do not believe that the removal of the SD resolution requirement will necessarily lead to the affected broadcasters delivering services with degraded technical quality. Nor do we believe that removing the resolution requirement from the three specific services to which they currently apply will lead to a wider reduction in picture quality on the DTT platform."
