(ĐN)- Dong Nai will carry out television digitalization program by the end of 2016, following a decision by the government, which last year approved a nationwide analogue to digital migration plan, which will see the country's television stations broadcasting all their content in digital format by 2020.

Under the approval by the Prime Minister, the DVB-T2 terrestrial digital TV standard was selected.

According to a recent announcement by the Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC), all TV products must meet the new technology standard. TV sets with 32-inch or larger screens will have to be integrated with the feature allowing them to receive digital TV signals in accordance with the DVB-T2 standard, starting from April 1.

All television and digital compatible device manufacturers must label their trademark as well as the "Digital Compatible" logo on their products in order to help buyers recognize the standards and authorities to better control the market.

According to MIC, besides boosting the quality of television signals, the digitalisation scheme also aims to gradually expand digital terrestrial television coverage to serve the economic development, culture, society, and offer a variety of high-quality TV services (such as HDTV, 3DTV).
