Here we are, there are only 3 days left until the first switch off of the DTT, the revolution that from here to 2023 it will lead to the change of coding, up to the latest generation standard Dvbt-2/Hevc Main 10. A series of channels will then begin to disappear if you don’t have one tv bought in the last 3 years. However they exist due bonus tv prepared by the government: one for the decoder, the other for scrapping an old TV and buying a new one. This is the right time to exploit them without arriving unprepared for October 20th.
The first is the TV scrapping bonus: a discount up to 100 euros, without any Isee limit, to dispose of the old television and buy a new generation one. The old bonus decoder, on the equipment needed to receive the new transmission standard. The amount, however, was lowered from 50 to 30 euros maximum. The two discounts are literally selling like hot cakes.
Digital terrestrial, first switch off: channels only in HD
For the moment to be involved in the transformation will be some “minor” but well-known channels of Rai and Mediaset. As for public television, both high and low resolution will remain visible to all users three flagship networks (Rai 1, Rai 2 and Rai 3), together with Rainews 24. They will switch to the exclusive HD standard, instead: Rai 4, Rai 5, Rai Movie, Rai Yoyo, Rai Sport + HD, Rai Storia, Rai Gulp, Rai Premium Rai Scuola.
As for Mediaset, however, the networks involved will be: Tgcom24, Mediaset Italia 2, Boing Plus, Radio 105, R101 Tv and Virgin Radio Tv. The most important Rete 4, Canale 5 and Italia 1 will remain visible even at low resolution. Still to be defined, on the other hand, the strategy of issuers such as La7 and that of free-to-air channels of Sky on digital terrestrial.
The rearrangement from Dvb-T / Mpeg2 to Mpeg4 encoding it will then take place for all channels in a staggered manner in the various regional areas: the first is Sardinia. Afterwards, and until June 2022, it will be the turn of the other areas of the country. From 3 January 2022 to 15 March 2022 in Valle d’Aosta, Piedmont, Lombardy, Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Emilia Romagna. From 1 March 2022 to 15 May 2022 in Sicily, Calabria, Puglia, Basilicata; Abruzzo, Molise, Marche. From 1 May 2022 to 30 June 2022 in Liguria, Tuscany, Umbria, Lazio, Campania.
You can try see the channels already available in HD, for example 501 for Rai Uno HD, 505 for Canale 5 HD and 507 for LA7 HD. If at least one high definition channel is visible, the TV is ready for this first technological step. Otherwise, to be able to continue to see the entire programming you have to immediately replace the television or add the appropriate decoder.
The second technological step
From 1 January 2023, therefore, there will be the definitive passage to the new standard digital terrestrial television broadcasting Dvbt-2. To understand if your TV is compatible with the new Dvbt-2 technology, you can tune into test channels 100 (Rai) or 200 (Mediaset): if the message “Test HEVC Main10” appears, the tv is already suitable and it does not have to be changed or equipped with a decoder by the end of 2022.
If nothing appears, you can try retune all programs. In any case, then, all devices are potentially adaptable with a specific decoder, CRT CRT TVs too.
TV scrapping bonus: how it works
The discount provided by the Draghi government and in particular by the Ministry of Economic Development, led by Giancarlo Giorgetti, can reach the 20% of the cost of the device, with a maximum ceiling of 100 euros. The facilitation valid until 31 December 2022 and, as mentioned, it is “subject to early exhaustion of available funds”. It does not require any Isee certification, so it is not linked to family income and assets. Given the nearly 10 million potentially affected families and only 250 million euros allocated on refinancing is very likely.
There are three requirements to be met: being resident in Italy, having scrapped an “obsolete” appliance (ie purchased before 22 December 2018) and having the attestation of the payment of the Rai license fee. Without having abandoned an old TV or not paying the mandatory television license fee, therefore, it is impossible to access the state contribution. However, the over 75 exempt from the tax linked to the possession of the television.
How to apply
Scrapping can take place by delivering the old appliance to the retailer or to authorized landfills. We must therefore provide them with a pdf form downloadable from the website of the Ministry of Development, which consists of a self-declaration of the requirements. The document must be countersigned by the dealer, or by an employee of the collection center, and delivered when you make the new purchase (even online). Attached to the form you must provide the tax code of the buyer and a copy of a valid identity document.
Bonus, complete guide to contributions: TV, mortgages, PCs, renovations and children
The trader then enters all the information on the telematic platform where theRevenue Agency confirms the presence of the requirements. The amount can be recovered by the seller with the tax credit. Any family can request the contribution of 100 euros once. In any case, on the website of the Ministry of Economic Development there is one complete guide to the contribution.
It bonus decoder tv
The contribution for the scrapping, if you have more televisions, can be combined with the old bonus for the external decoder, “The amount of which is reduced to 30 euros, or to the lesser value equal to the sale price if lower”. Otherwise the bonus decoder, always from 30 euros, you can use it to buy a new TV without scrapping another one. However, to access it you must have an ISEE that does not exceed 20,000 euros, be resident in Italy and have not already requested the bonus once. To apply, you must always present the substitutive declaration present on the Mise website (together with their identity document and tax code), with sellers who connect to the Agency’s platform to verify the parameters. who the list of suitable TVs and decoders to access the bonus.
