Television retuning deadline set for June 30, 2026

The Department of Electronic Communications of the Deputy Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy has announced that June 30, 2026, is the final deadline for viewers to retune their television sets. From this date onwards, private television channels will transition exclusively to new frequencies 35 and 48 using DVB-T2 technology. Citizens are advised to perform a channel rescan on their TVs or digital decoders immediately. If existing hardware does not support the DVB-T2 standard, consumers may need to purchase compatible equipment, such as an external DVB-T2 decoder. This technical update is required to maintain access to television broadcasts.
