HD transition

Now is a good moment in terrestrial television households to verify the following:

During the transition, make sure that your receiver is up-to-date, allowing you to receive HD broadcasting. If a terrestrial television household is already watching Yle, MTV3 and Nelonen HD broadcasts, the receiver is HD-capable. If you live in an apartment building and are not sure if your TV is on a terrestrial television network, contact your building manager.

• If you live in a single-family home and own a modern, functioning UHF antenna and have not had any problems with your TV reception, there is probably no need to change your antenna. However, it is important to remember that antenna systems, just like any other home systems, require maintenance. Before you go shopping for a TV, make sure that your building’s antenna system is working properly.
• If HD channels are not visible and your antenna tv system is up to date, you should probably purchase a new HD TV. Make sure the receiver has a DVB-T2 tuner. Most new TVs sold in Finland have it. You can check model-specific information at testatutlaitteet.fi. Not all devices operating in Finland can be found on the site.
• It is also a good idea to check that the TV is up to date at second homes and summer cottages.
