AW: DVB-T in Südafrika

Vielen Dank für die bisherigen Antworten. Der Link von MarkusLöhne gibt mir die Hoffnung, dass vielleicht auch in Durban (immerhin die zweitgrößte Stadt in ZA) schon die Programme digital zu empfangen sind.

Als mobilen Receiver habe ich mir am Wochenende den Archos AV700-TV zugelegt, der ein DVB-T und auch ein analoges Empfangsteil besitzt. Da fahre ich auf jeden fall zweigleisig. Dazu bietet er mir eine Videorecorderfunktion, um die Sendungen direkt auf die interne Platte abspeichern zu können. Bin mal gespannt, ob ich es schaffe, eine 12 Stunden Übertragung von SABC2 aufzunehmen.

Ist der Frequenzbereich von DVB-T eigentlich standardisiert?

AW: DVB-T in Südafrika

DVB-T im Ausland

Als erstes fangen wir mit Südafrika an. Mein lieblings Urlaubsland.
Ich war in Johannesburg. Hier die Sender die ich dort mit meinem Equipment empfing.
SABC 1, 2, 3
e.tv
Pay-TV (Multichoice) M-Net und DSTV (Verschlüsselung: Irdeto)

Ich wußte vorher nicht, dass es in Südafrika DVB-T gibt!

....While the SENTECH Tower in Brixton covers a large portion of Gauteng, Lindeque says Sentech will make use of all it’s existing high sites, 220 in total, to facilitate DTT broadcasts. In addition, new sites will be established later on to cover those areas not covered by analogue services currently.

It is anticipated that network upgrades will take two years. Once the upgrades are completed, Sentech will begin the process of dual illumination – running DTT and analogue systems side by side. This will continue for a number of years. .....

30/08/2006 South Africa - Digital switchover plans revealed
The broadcast network operator Sentech has announced the plans for the roll-out of DTT services in South Africa. Already, the Minister of Communications, Ivy Matsepe-Casaburri, has announced that R1 billion (€110 million) will be available to Sentech to upgrade its network.

Currently, the network infrastructure is being replaced and upgraded. Altogether, 184 analogue sites will need to be migrated to digital.

DTT services will be available on two multiplexes offering viewers access to seven television programme services (MNet, e-TV, 3 SABC national services, 2 SABC regional services).

The following DTT population coverage is anticipated:
- 56% in 2008
- 78% in 2009
- 92% in 2010

Following a simulcast period, analogue services are expected to be switched off around 2015. This will allow spectrum to be made available for new services on the DTT platform. HDTV is not expected to begin prior to analogue switch-off.

Bei DVB-T Ausstrahlung würden mehrere Programme in einer Ferquenz auftauchen !

Jetzt bin ich auch davon überzeugt, dass ich in Durban mit großer Sicherheit keinen digitalen Empfang habe. Den analogen Empfangsteil im dem Archos Gerät habe ich wohl irgendwie geträumt, den gibt es auch nicht.

Also bleibt zu hoffen das ich eine Möglichkeit finden werde, eine analoge Quelle zum Aufnehmen an den Archos anzuschließen (Hotelfernseher oder mit fremder Hilfe..). Wird sich schon etwas finden.

Vielen dank für Eure Mühe.

DTT trial launched

A Digital Terrestrial TV (DTT) trial began on the 1st November when Sentech switched on the first DVB-T trial transmitter. The trial will continue until Mid 2009 when general service transmissions should begin.

Broadcasters are planning to distribute 3000 set top boxes to viewers participating in the trial.

When the service is launched in 2009, it is expected that the DTT platform will provide more free-to-air channels than are currently available as well as one Pay TV channel. Digital switchover is planned to occur by 2011.

DTT coverage targets limited by finance

The broadcast network operator Sentech has announced that it is increasingly unlikely that it will meet its DTT coverage targets of 52% of the population by March 2009 and 80% of the population by 2010. Currently it expects that by the at the end of 2009, services will only reach 40% of the population. Sentech had requested R262.4 million (€20 million) from the government, but only R150 million (€11 million) was approved.

It is also likely that the shortfall in funding will result in the analogue switch, planned for completion in 2011 being delayed.

South Africa to get 3 DTT muxes

South Africa will have three national digital multiplexes for television, according to The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA), which has just published the Digital Terrestrial Television regulations for final public consultation.

The first multiplex will be used for public broadcasting, including the SABC and Eastern Cape community station Trinity Broadcasting Network. A public value test will be applied to any channels wishing to broadcast on this multiplex. The SABC will have to include two regional channels as part of this multiplex.

In the second multiplex, commercial free-to-air services will be included. E.tv will be allocated 60 percent of the multiplex, with additional capacity to be allocated to new broadcasters.

Of the third multiplex, 50 percent will be reserved for pay-TV operator M-Net, conditional on its ability to switch all its subscribers from its current analogue decoders to digital decoders within a year.

Complete analogue switch-off is planned on November 1, 2011. ICASA wants to introduce competition with the end of the dual illumination period, allow for trials by other interested persons, enable for the provision of mobile services such as DVB-H), provide for M-Net to conduct a hard switch over within a period of 12 months, thus allowing an early release of the digital dividend.

Digital TV migration slipping

The switch-over from analogue to a digital broadcasting system is unlikely to be completed by November 2011, due to the slow process of drafting set-top box (STB) specifications, frequency plans and regulations.

SA is currently in its three-year window of switching from the obsolete analogue broadcasting system to a new digital format that will allow a greater number of channels and more efficient use of spectrum. It began in November last year and is to end with the switch-off of the analogue system in November 2011.

Former communication minister Ivy Matsepe-Casaburri and former Department of Communications (DOC) director-general Lyndall Shope-Mafole were the prime movers in the ambitious targets being set. The International Telecommunications Union had decreed that SA should switch over by 2015 as part of the global frequency plan.

However, the timeline appears to be slipping rapidly and now it seems that the country would have to make use of the ITU set date. The working group that sets the STB specification at the SA Bureau of Standards is still collating public comments, the communications regulator ICASA has still to finalise its broadcast frequency plan and finalise the digital TV regulations.

Lara Kantor, the SA Broadcasting Corporation's general manager for digital TV policy, says the broadcaster has applied for an extension of its test license from ICASA because of the delays in introducing a commercial service.

“We originally wanted to complete testing in June. However, because we do not have the frequency plan or the regulations yet, it means the commercial service will only be starting, at best, in 2010 rather than in the last quarter of this year,” she says.

The SABC and private broadcaster etv have been conducting the free-to-air tests among consumers in Johannesburg, Pretoria, and Durban. More than 2 000 STBs are being used in the test. [...]
