Progress in SA

Significant progress has been made in the implementation of DTT locally.To date 18 analogue transmitters in the core towns of the SKA have been switched off to make way for the new digital signal.

DTT will ensure increased access to information and services, and create new job opportunities in content development, production and editing to accelerate economic growth.

The roll-out of the programme brings tangible benefits that will have a lasting impact across society and the economy.

These include the revitalisation of the electronic manufacturing industry through the local manufacturing of set-top boxes, DTT aerials and satellite dish installations.
