Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The government says it has started distributing digital set-top boxes to Binga villagers for them to start receiving digitalised broadcasting transmission.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa handed 100 set-top boxes to government departments, the local authority, and traditional and political leaders.<\/p>\n

Mutsvangwa said the government will prioritise areas that were historically marginalised without television services. She said:<\/p>\n

I am happy to announce that the transmitter constructed at Nkalange here in Binga is now complete and is transmitting signal that will be picked up by the set-top boxes that we are going to distribute here today.<\/p>\n

Already there are channels that can be scanned on these set-top boxes which include ZBC TV, ZBC News, Yadah TV, Jive TV and Christ TV.<\/p>\n

Chief Siansali and Siachilaba are some of those that received set-top boxes.<\/p>\n

The government launched the digitalisation programme in 2015 in an effort to effect migration from analogue to digital terrestrial transmission (DTT).<\/p>\n

To date, only 18 out of the targeted 48 digital transmitters are now complete.<\/p>\n

DTT uses terrestrial towers to transmit the signal much like mobile network operator base stations and signals can be picked up by special antennas and set-top boxes.<\/p>\n
