“From the first day there will be maximum coverage and 100% of the population will be able to reach this channel” which “will be born simultaneously with the shutdown of the SD so that the migration of channels occurs on its own in a ‘Retuning’ García Castillejo said about a milestone in public television whose technical aspects have been explained by Víctor Sánchez, Director of Media and Operations at TVE.
“From an engineering point of view, it will be one of the great advances of the coming years, even superior to IP, since UHD will be able to be appreciated by the viewer,” said Sánchez, who predicts that “once the viewer “You get used to UHD, if you go back to HD you will see it blurry, just as it happened when you went from SD to HD.”
