Poland - EmiTel to operate TVP's DTT multiplex

Public service broadcaster TVP has announced that it has awarded EmiTel with the contract to serve as the techical operator of its DTT multiplex.

TVP has been allocated Multiplex 3 on the DTT platform. While coverage is initially expected to be low for this multiplex, national coverage is anticipated once analogue switch-off is completed in 2013.

Two further DTT multiplexes are available but have not yet been fully launched. The first multiplex offers the simulcast of existing services on the analogue terrestrial platform. However, because a technical operator for this multiplex has not been selected, the multiplex has not officially launched although services are available to approximately 20% of the population.

It is not yet clear what services will be offered on the second multiplex nor when services will be launched.
