DVB-T in France

Télévision Numérique Terrestre is the national digital terrestrial service for France. It formally arrived on 31 March 2005 after a short testing period. Like Freeview in the United Kingdom it will support many new channels as well as the current terrestrial television stations. Pay TV channels were launched in September 2005 using the MPEG4 format, unlike most of Europe which currently uses MPEG2. Pay per view terrestrial channels use H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC. Analogue switch off is expected to be finished by 30 November 2011. TNT is the first service to implement Dolby Digital Plus as one possible audio codec. France is also the first European country and the third in the world to propose the HDTV on its DTT after USA and Japan.
