DVB-T in Croatia


DVB-T in Croatia in operated by broadcast network operator OiV. OiV (Odašiljači i Veze) is a Croatian broadcast and WiMAX network operator born from the separation from Croatian Radiotelevision in 2001. The communications regulator HAKOM has awarded OIV a 10-year licence to operate two DVB-T multiplexes (Mux A and Mux B). OiV will be required by the licence conditions to roll-out the DTT networks to 95% of the population. Digital switchover is expected to be completed by 05 October 2010 when analog TV broadcasting in the last region (allotment D4) should be switched off. Croatia is using MPEG-2 compression system despite all surrounding countries (Slovenia, Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia and Hezegovina, Montenegro) are using or have announced to use MPEG-4 compression. There is a government subsidy for DVB-T receivers for public service broadcaster (HRT) subscribers. More information can be found on the official page about digital terrestrial television in Croatia.
