The Digital Switchover
For 80 % of French households, television reception is still via the terrestrial hertzian signal. Digital television (TNT) will from the end of March 2005 offer numerous digital channels without changing the aerial although specific digital equipment is required.
Unlike analogue, with digital television there is no loss of quality between the emission and reception of the signal. Fianlly last October the first HD channels became available.
The law of the 1st August 2000 laid out the roll-out of this new technology.
The first part of the switch to digital, the phasing-out of analogue, came about on the 4th February in Colommiers (Seine-et-Marne) and 9 neighbouring communities. A timetable was then established for the rest of France. It is as follows:
2nd February 2010: Alsace
