What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Department of Information and Communications Technology concluded a two-day information session in Davao City concerning regional connectivity issues. The session addressed the shift to Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcasting (DTTB), which is DICT's primary framework for transitioning the country from analog to digital broadcasting. While 72 percent of households in the Davao Region are digital TV-ready, approximately 293,000 households still rely on analog television. Regional expansion of this transition is scheduled for 2028 and 2029.

The transition involves shutting down analog terrestrial TV signals and migrating to digital broadcasting. The Analog Switch-Off in Mega Manila is set for November this year, paving the way for regional expansion. To help households prepare, DICT outlined options including purchasing a Set-Top Box compliant with DTTB standards, priced around P880.
