In accordance with the timetable set out in the plan for the switch off of analogue terrestrial television broadcasting (switch off plan), on 26 April all analogue transmitters and relays still operating in mainland Portugal will be switched off, concluding the third and final stage of the switch off.
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.
