The days of analogue television via satellite are numbered. On April 30th 2012, Germany will be the last European country to end analogue broadcasting via satellite. This also has implications for Spain, not least because both German-speaking tourists with holiday homes there and long term residents on the mainland, in the Balearics and in the Canaries get information on what is happening back home via TV. Hotel owners are also affected by the digital switchover by German-language broadcasters, as many guests rely on the availability of programming in their own language while on holiday or business trips. This is notwithstanding the numerous Spaniards who have a good command of the German language.
Advantages of digital TV
The switchover to digital satellite will be worthwhile for a number of reasons. Digital satellite television offers an enormous range of programming, both domestically and from abroad, as well as better picture and sound quality, numerous HDTV broadcasters and additional digital information. Digital TV sets and digital receivers from TechniSat prove that innovative technology does not have to go hand in hand with complex handling. The high quality products offer numerous added value services that make the switch to the wonderful world of digital simplicity itself. These include free digital programme previewing up to seven days in advance, automatic software updates and a channel list manager that regularly updates and processes reception data as soon as a new broadcaster switches over or the reception data changes.
HDTV experience
This is the case on April 30th, for example, when a further ten HDTV broadcasters in Germany will be switched over. These will then be automatically sorted into the channel list in TechniSat digital receivers and televisions. This means that even more TV channels can be enjoyed in high definition via digital satellite in the spring. This puts conventional television in the shade, with never-before-seen colour brilliance, resolution, and sharpness of depth. So anyone planning to go digital now would be absolutely right to opt for an HDTV receiver or HDTV TV set, and will be set up not only for the present, but for the future as well.
