The Slovak Telecom Office (TU SR) is reported to have recommended the use of MPEG-4 compression for the country’s forthcoming DTT operation.
A tender for the first multiplex, which will carry the leading public and commercial channels STV1, STV2, TV Markiza, TV Joj and TA3, is understood to be imminent.
Two further multiplexes are likely to be launched ahead of ASO in 2012.
