Digital terrestrial television in Estonia

Digital terrestrial television in Estonia

Digital terrestrial television in Estonia, was officially launched on December 15, when the operator Zuum TV launched its pay service on two multiplexes. [1] Transmissions are made with MPEG-4 AVC compression using the DVB-T standard.

In June 2007, Levira and ETV announced that they had agreed to launch an HDTV trial in July 2007. [2]

In November 2007, a third multiplex was launched, covering almost all of the country. This multiplex was to be used by free-to-air services, while the two existing national multiplexes would only carry pay channels. Hence the public channel ETV was transferred to the new multiplex.[3] At this time, the only free-to-air channels available were ETV and Kalev Sport, but they were followed by Kanal 2, TV6 and Kanal 11 in March 2008.

As of 2010, the multiplexes contain the following channels: [4]
