Practical digital technology for digital migration
Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) has proven to be a practical digital technology for digital migration in Africa. DTT helps reduce spectrum usage, provides more capacity to transmit more channels and much better picture quality, meaning more local and international channels will be offered to customers compared to analogue signals.
Unlike DTH, DTT signals will not be affected by weather conditions during the rainy season, allowing people to watch digital TV in all weathers. And without the fees of leased satellite services, DTT operates with lower operating costs, providing affordable services to broadcasters and customers.
By adopting advanced and high quality digital terrestrial television technology, STNB will quickly revolutionize the digital television sector while providing quality and affordable television reception, allowing every Burundian family to access digital television, watch digital television, enjoy digital television and share the beauty and glamor of digital television.
