New Zealand is switching to digital television, giving consumers a better quality experience and more channels.
The change to digital television is part of a technology evolution. In television, we’ve moved from a single channel to several channels, from black and white to colour, and now from analogue to digital broadcasting.
Digital means a higher quality picture and better television reception in many areas of New Zealand; more television channels with more advanced features, more efficiently and at less overall cost.
The digital switchover announcement was made by Hon. Jonathan Coleman, former Minister of Broadcasting and Hon. Steven Joyce, former Minister for Communications and Information Technology on 16 September 2010.
