German cable operators association Anga expects that a Germany-wide
analogue cable TV switch off will occur by the end of 2018 at the latest. At
that time, the preconditions for analogue-switch off that have been discussed
between network operators, broadcasters, media policy and housing industry for
many years will be in place, according to a statement made at beginning of
Anga's annual cable conference Angacom. At the end of 2014, more than 70
percent of German cable customers used digital TV channels. This corresponds to
a growth by over 22 percent compared with the previous year. At almost constant
growth rates, a digital/analogue ratio of considerably more than 90 percent can
be anticipated in 2018, which is more than the expected acceptance level for
switch-off.
There are many DVB-T2 Set Top Boxes and Integrated TVs in the
market. For those who want both DVB-T2 programs and internet programs, they
need to use OTT+DVB-T2 STBs, such as SDMC’S H.265 UHD DV7810-T2 and H.265 1080p
DV7904-T2.
