RAI has confirmed the date when its digital channels will move to MPEG-4.
The Italian public broadcaster will make the change to its terrestrial network on October 20, a week later than initially planned, though its most popular channels Rai 1, Rai 2, Rai 3 and Rai 4 will remain with MPEG-2 for the time being.
9 channels are making the switch; Rai 4, Rai 5, Rai Movie, Rai Yoyo, Rai Sport+ HD, Rai History, Rai Gulp, Rai Premium and Rai School.
The switch to DVB-T2/MPEG-4 transmission system is in line with plans put forward by the Ministry of Economic Development.
