Before we embark on the analogue switch off in any state, we will ensure that the Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) signal has covered at least 70 per cent of the population in that state.
“The remaining 30 per cent will be covered by Direct-To-Home (DTH) satellite signal.
“Please note that once the analogue signal is switched off, no one on the system will receive television signals anymore,’’ he said. He said because of the topography of some areas like the Federal Capital Territory, the DTT signal could not effectively cover such areas. The minister said in such cases, they would deploy DTH satellite signals to areas not covered by DTT signals.
