A public session is being held today, 26 April, to mark Portugal's definitive transition to digital terrestrial television (DTT), as the third and final phase of the plan for the switch off of analogue television transmissions (switch off plan) is concluded.
The ceremony is being held at 11.45 am at ANACOM's office in Porto and will be attended by ANACOM's Chairman, José Amado da Silva, the Portuguese Deputy and Parliamentary Affairs Minister, Miguel Relvas, and Chief Executive Officer of Portugal Telecom, Zeinal Bava, alongside other dignitaries.
Meanwhile, by determination of 23 March, ANACOM has approved a subsidy to be made available where installations require adaptation so that they are capable of digital television reception via terrestrial (DTT) or by satellite (DTH). The subsidy is distributed by PT Comunicações and applications to receive it must be submitted no later than 31 August 2012. This subsidy can be combined with the subsidy available for the acquisition of DTT reception equipment.
