Until practically no time ago, few were the users who really had reason to buy a 4K television, since DTT channels are still anchored to FullHD (1080p) and that of the platforms in streaming it was a fashion to come. Now, however, practically all of us enjoy movies and series, documentaries, children’s programs and video games in UHD so that, somehow, we have forgotten a bit about conventional television.
The problem for these DTT broadcasts to arrive in 4K is not simply a matter of wanting to do so, but of a problem with the so-called radioelectric space: it is limited and the large networks need more than one frequency to reach our televisions in UHD quality. And that would mean renunciate channels that help to make a barn, both viewers and advertising revenue.
UHD Spain, 4K DTT
TVE was the first to broadcast in 4K through DTT. That happened in 2016 and although it started in a precarious way reaching only eleven cities in Spain, Over time it spread throughout the entire national geography. It is through that mux (multiplexer) that occupied the public channel where UHD Spain has begun to operate through two different signals, such as “UHD emissions tests HDR “and” Emissions UHD tests SDR “.
The two signals are encoded with HEVC H.265 using the DVB-T2 standard, so it will be necessary for both our television and DTT to be compatible. If you want to try tuning in to UHD Spain right now, you should look for the following frequencies, depending on the province in which you live:
- Albacete: 26
