Digital switch over begins


The National Communications Commission (NCC) began its nationwide digital television switchover operation with the shutting down of analogue wireless and television signals in the Dajia district of Taichung City, central Taiwan, last week. With the switch Dajia became the first district in the country to completely switch to digital TV.
According to the NCC, Taiwan’s top television regulator, Taiwan will turn off analogue wireless and television signals countrywide by the 30th June 2012, ushering in a new era of digital wireless TV.
