Minister of Communications Nikolai Nikiforov announced that in 2018 Russia will be able to abandon analogue television broadcasting. It is assumed that by this time the entire country will be ready to switch to digital television, but not everyone shares the optimism of officials. Lenta.ru found out why, after switching to digital, many Russians may lose access to television and how to avoid this.

Why does analog die?

According to Nikiforov, in 2018 the state will stop subsidizing analogue television. This doesn't mean it will be turned off. The Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications explained to Lenta.ru that TV channels, in addition to the digital format, who want to broadcast in analogue, will have this opportunity: to do this, they just need to agree with the signal distributor - the Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network (RTRS). For example, regional channels will be able to continue broadcasting analogue.

The transition to digital by 2018 is not new in itself. In 2009, when the excitement around the launch of digital TV in Russia was just gaining momentum, officials made rosy plans for a complete transition to a new broadcast format by 2015; later the plans were adjusted and a new milestone was named - 2018. It was assumed that by that time more than half of Russians would have acquired television receivers capable of reading a digital signal.

Why is digital better than analog?

Digital television has better quality, allows you to fit more channels in one frequency range, and is more resistant to interference. Often, dense urban areas contribute to the creation of ripples or stripes on television screens. The digital type of transmission allows the signal to bypass these obstacles and produce a smooth picture at the output.

How do you “smoke” an analogue?

The transition to digital television is a worldwide trend. In the West, this process began ten years earlier than in Russia. Abroad, digital broadcasting began in the 1990s, while in Russia they began testing “digital” in 2000 (in the Nizhny Novgorod region). To date, almost all of Western Europe, Scandinavian countries, the USA, some CIS countries and Latin America have abandoned the analogue format. In 2017, Ukraine plans to completely abandon analogue broadcasting in favor of digital.

At the time when Luxembourg and the Netherlands switched completely to digital for the first time (in 2006), Russia had just created a government commission that began working on the concept of introducing new TV standards. It was headed by Dmitry Medvedev. Having become president in 2008, he became closely involved in television issues (at the same time an attempt was made to create public television, which resulted in the opening of the OTR channel with - approx. "Tapes.ru"). In 2009, the Federal Target Program was approved, according to which investments in digital television broadcasting amounted to almost 165 billion rubles.

It was decided that the new format would come to viewers’ homes in multiplexes - packages that are transmitted on the same frequency. The first multiplex included ten federal TV channels - Channel One, Russia 1, Russia 2 (later its frequencies were transferred to Match TV), NTV, Channel Five, Russia K, Russia 24, Karusel, freshly baked OTR and TV Center.

Seats in the second multiplex were put up for competition. Dozens of channels fought for the right to be publicly accessible throughout Russia. As a result, REN TV, STS, Spas, Domashny, TV-3, Friday, Zvezda, Mir, TNT and Muz-TV (now - "Yu"). Among the channels that applied, but did not enter the multiplex, were Russia Today, Dozhd, Peretz, NTV Plus, Komsomolskaya Pravda.

Channels have to pay a lot for the opportunity to be in a multiplex. Initially, it was planned that TV companies would pay RTRS almost a billion rubles annually to build the necessary infrastructure and maintain the signal. Subsequently, annual payments were reduced to 150 million, but from 2019, after the second multiplex is fully deployed, the cost of broadcasting there may again rise to a billion rubles.

For some channels this amount turned out to be unaffordable. Thus, the Orthodox “Spas”, which, as its general director states, exists solely on donations from viewers, still cannot pay off RTRS, and, as in July, does not have an agreement with the signal distributor at all.

Before the crisis, the authorities planned to launch a third multiplex, which would have included regional channels, but the idea failed - the idea was recognized as economically unprofitable. As a result, the third multiplex was launched only in Crimea due to the digital infrastructure that the peninsula inherited from Ukraine.

Who can be left without television?

The Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications explained to Lenta.ru that by 2018, digital broadcasting will cover 98.1 percent of the Russian population (ten free channels of the first multiplex will be available to 98.3 percent of the country’s residents by the end of 2016). The remaining 1.9 percent are small populated or uninhabited localities, as well as polar explorer settlements. However, wide coverage does not mean that the new television will come to every home, says a top manager of a television company whose channel is included in one of the multiplexes, who wished to remain anonymous.

To connect to digital TV and watch 20 public TV channels for free, the subscriber's TV must be able to receive a DVB-T2 signal (the European standard for digital terrestrial television of the second generation - approx. "Tapes.ru"). However, not all TVs, even modern models, are equipped with such a receiver. If the device does not support DVB-T2, the viewer will have to purchase a special set-top box with a receiver, which costs at least a thousand rubles.

Set-top boxes cannot be called expensive, “but judging by the fact that 30 percent of citizens cannot exchange an old TV for a new one, they probably do not have extra money to buy additional devices,” the channel manager suggested.

By the way, in 2012, the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications proposed that regions provide several million low-income citizens with such devices. Whether the authorities plan to help beneficiaries with this is still unknown.

Lenta.ru’s interlocutor claims that not a single TV channel yet has an understanding of how the final transition from “analogue” to “digital” will take place (as well as no idea of ​​the real losses they may incur). A sharp, overnight transition will not happen, he believes: there is a high risk that part of the population will be left without publicly accessible channels, which could lead to public indignation.

Excerpt characterizing 2017 in television

When the dressed, washed body lay in a coffin on the table, everyone came up to him to say goodbye, and everyone cried.
Nikolushka cried from the painful bewilderment that tore his heart. The Countess and Sonya cried out of pity for Natasha and that he was no more. The old count cried that soon, he felt, he would have to take the same terrible step.
Natasha and Princess Marya were also crying now, but they were not crying from their personal grief; they wept from the reverent emotion that gripped their souls before the consciousness of the simple and solemn mystery of death that had taken place before them.

The totality of causes of phenomena is inaccessible to the human mind. But the need to find reasons is embedded in the human soul. And the human mind, without delving into the innumerability and complexity of the conditions of phenomena, each of which separately can be represented as a cause, grabs the first, most understandable convergence and says: this is the cause. In historical events (where the object of observation is the actions of people), the most primitive convergence seems to be the will of the gods, then the will of those people who stand in the most prominent historical place - historical heroes. But one has only to delve into the essence of each historical event, that is, into the activities of the entire mass of people who participated in the event, to be convinced that the will of the historical hero not only does not guide the actions of the masses, but is itself constantly guided. It would seem that it is all the same to understand the significance of the historical event one way or another. But between the man who says that the peoples of the West went to the East because Napoleon wanted it, and the man who says that it happened because it had to happen, there is the same difference that existed between the people who argued that the earth stands firmly and the planets move around it, and those who said that they do not know what the earth rests on, but they know that there are laws governing the movement of it and other planets. There are no and cannot be reasons for a historical event, except for the only cause of all reasons. But there are laws that govern events, partly unknown, partly groped by us. The discovery of these laws is possible only when we completely renounce the search for causes in the will of one person, just as the discovery of the laws of planetary motion became possible only when people renounced the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe affirmation of the earth.
