DVB-T2 HD
DVB-T2 HD refers to the specification used in Germany for broadcasting television programs via DVB-T2 .
On May 31, 2016, the changeover from DVB-T to DVB-T2 began with the transmission of some channels in various metropolitan areas. On March 29, 2017, DVB-T was switched off in many German metropolitan areas and the program was broadcast in DVB-T2. The switch to DVB-T2 took place successively in several phases and was completed on August 29, 2019. The reception path is used by ARD and ZDF as well as the project office DVB-T2 HD Germany with the slogan Small antenna. Big TV. Applied.
None of the major private broadcasters can be received unencrypted via DVB-T2 HD. All private programs except Bible TV, QVC, HSE24, 1-2-3.tv and freenet Shopping are broadcast in encrypted form.
Special situation in Germany
Due to the Digital Dividend II , frequencies above 700 MHz can no longer be used for terrestrial television in the future. In order to still be able to broadcast high-resolution television in a smaller frequency spectrum, the TV organizers decided to use the efficient HEVC codec (H.265) for image coding. Set-top boxes available outside of Germany that can only receive H.264 are therefore unsuitable for receiving German DVB-T2 programs. Even televisions with an integrated DVB-T2 tuner can only be used if they are already designed for HEVC (H.265), because such devices already contain an HEVC decoder. There are now receivers on the German market for reception with HEVC - some only for free-to-air programs, some also for encrypted private broadcasters. Unlike the old receivers, DVB-T antennas also work with DVB-T2 HD.
The major organizers (ARD, ZDF, Mediengruppe RTL and ProSiebenSat.1) have opted for the 1080p50 image resolution . In this case, the first and ZDF being only of a 720p signal 50 and the two private only by a 1080i signal 50 scaled up .
In principle, any DVB-T2 hardware is suitable for receiving the free channels on the PC. If necessary, an H.265 / HEVC-capable reception program and a suitable H.265 / HEVC decoder (depending on the reception program FFmpeg or Strongene Lentoid ) are required, which make higher demands on the CPU than many other codecs. This free combination of hardware and software is implemented under Windows using BDA . There is also a Freenet TV stick for receiving the encrypted channels, but due to the lack of BDA this can only be used with the software supplied (previously only for Windows and MacOS).
reception
In order to recognize whether a television set can receive all unencrypted and encrypted programs via DVB-T2 HD, the green DVB-T2-HD logo was introduced (DVB-T2-HD specification). Devices with this symbol meet all the requirements in Germany for receiving DVB-T2 HD. With these you will be able to receive at least the free programs of the public broadcasters, as well as some unencrypted private channels. For the reception of the encrypted private channels that are broadcast via the Freenet TV platform , these have a CI-Plus slot . If you don't already have one, you also need a CI-Plus module. Receivers that also have the Freenet TV logo already have an integrated or built-in CI-Plus module. According to a study by Stiftung Warentest, such receivers with an integrated CI-Plus module are sometimes cheaper than buying a CI-Plus module individually. The activation of the module and the use of Freenet TV requires the payment of a regular fee. There are annual costs of 82.86 euros per decryption device (as of July 2020). If several televisions in the household are to be supplied with private channels, payment must also be made for each device individually, as the activation for the device takes place individually.
Receiving devices without these logos and without a CI slot are often sufficient to receive the free channels (without receiving the encrypted private channels). However, these must be HEVC (H.265) and HE-AAC capable. It should be noted that receivers are also sold that receive DVB-T2, but cannot decode HEVC, but only MPEG-4 AVC (H.264). These receivers are suitable for DVB-T2, but not for DVB-T2 HD used in Germany. There are also receivers and DVB software that display images encoded in HEVC, but cannot reproduce HE-AAC encoded sound. In this case, no sound can be heard from programs broadcast in this way.
Using a DVBT2 HD USB TV stick, it is possible to watch the television program on a PC and laptop. The same technical requirements apply here in Germany as for a receiver. All unencrypted programs can be watched with any TV stick that meets these technical requirements. The encrypted programs can only be received with a freenet TV stick. A fee of 82.86 euros per year is also charged for this, plus the acquisition costs.
offer
In the regions that have already been developed (regular operation), around six multiplexes (MUX) will initially be available. Of these, three are assigned to the public broadcasters and three to the private broadcasters. At least four TV channels are broadcast in HD per multiplex. The broadcast of radio stations is waived.
- ARD ( ARD Digital ) broadcasts five nationwide programs ( Das Erste , One , tagesschau24 (except in Saarland), Phoenix , arte ) as well as four to seven regional programs (the selection of channels varies depending on the region).
- ZDF ( ZDFmobil ) broadcasts five nationwide programs ( ZDF , ZDFneo , ZDFinfo , KiKA and 3sat ) and freenet TV connect . The latter provides links to IPTV streams and media libraries as the successor to the multithek broadcast by the former mixed private DVB-T multiplexes.
- The private channels broadcast three muxes on the Freenet TV platform . The broadcasters of Mediengruppe RTL Deutschland ( RTL , RTL II , VOX , Super RTL , RTL Nitro , n-tv ) and ProSiebenSat1 ( Sat.1 , ProSieben , kabel eins , sixx , ProSieben Maxx , Sat.1 Gold ), Tele are involved 5 , DMAX , Eurosport 1 , Sport1 , Welt , Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel . These are broadcast encrypted in HD, channels such as Bible TV, HSE24 and QVC unencrypted in qHD. RTL and Sat.1 broadcast their regional versions RTL Regional and 17:30 Sat.1 .
HbbTV
Due to the limited availability of frequencies, ARD does not broadcast the same regional television everywhere. The missing programs are instead broadcast via HbbTV . If the receiver or television supports this, an Internet live stream will be established after a few seconds. The same applies to some private broadcasters. This service is part of freenet TV Connect.
Frequency range DVB-T2
Since the 700 MHz band is no longer available with DVB-T2, only channels 21 to 48 remain for terrestrial digital broadcasting. Channels 49 to 60 inclusive are no longer used (the use of the range up to channel 69 was discontinued earlier). The frequency range of DVB-T2 is in the range from 470 MHz to 690 MHz. Initially, however, the 700 MHz band up to and including K59 (778 MHz) is also used. A channel change will be necessary in regions with channels between K49 and K59 (both inclusive) by 2018.
Pilot operation
The first broadcast tests began in Berlin and Bavaria in 2014, and in North Rhine-Westphalia in 2015. On May 31, 2016, a large-scale pilot operation began to prepare for the first phase of the switch to DVB-T2 in other metropolitan areas - even where there were no commercial channels via DVB-T before - with a specially created bouquet .
The private television stations were broadcast in encrypted form right from the start. A suitable receiver (i.e. with CI + ) and a conditional access module including an access card are required. This preliminary stage of the program platform with the name “freenet TV” was initially distributed by the provider Media Broadcast “free of charge as part of a promotional campaign” (but still encrypted). On March 29, 2017, the conventional DVB-T broadcasts at the broadcasting sites of the first conversion phase were discontinued and almost completely replaced by broadcasts in the DVB-T2 standard.

DVB-T2 HD transmitter locations
Some DVB-T backbone network stations were shut down without compensation (u. A. Transmitter High Rhine , transmitter Brandenkopf ) so that terrestrial in some regions of Germany television can be received only with high antenna effort.

Changeover phases
On March 29, 2017, the first phase of the transition began in the aforementioned and some other regions. Usually six multiplexes are broadcast.
Three muxes are mostly occupied by five public HD channels. ARD broadcasts its five national programs nationwide ( Das Erste , one , tagesschau24 , arte and Phoenix ) in HD, with SR television broadcasting in Saarland instead of tagesschau24. While some stations such as the hr operate a national and regional ARD Mux, the MDR broadcasts national and regional ARD programs in a mixed manner. The ZDF-Mux ( ZDF mobil ) consists of the HD versions of all five ZDF channels nationwide ( ZDF , ZDFinfo , ZDFneo , KiKA and 3sat ).
The remaining three multiplexes are marketed by Freenet TV. These include the broadcasting groups from RTL and ProSiebenSat.1, all of which can only be received for a monthly fee. The private HD programs: Bibel TV , HSE 24 , QVC , 1-2-3.tv and freenet Shopping are broadcast free of charge in 960 × 540 pixels "qHD".
Contrary to previous announcements, the first phase of the transition started without the Iserlohn location, which is no longer going to go into operation. The Kerlingen transmitter, which is to be replaced by the Felsberg-Berus transmitter, was also not put into operation .
Further changes took place on November 8, 2017 (phase 2a), April 25, 2018 (phase 2b), September 26, 2018 (phase 3a-I), October 24, 2018 (phase 3a-II), and November 8, 2018 (phase 3a-III), November 28, 2018 (phase 3a-IV), December 5, 2018 (phase 3a-V), March 13, 2019 (phase 3b-I), April 3, 2019 (phase 3b-II), April 22, 2019 May 2019 (phase 3b-III) and on August 29, 2019 (phase 3b-IV).
The North German Broadcasting has optimized the network in some regions subsequently. Additional transmitter locations have been added, on June 18, 2020 in Großenbrode and on June 25, 2020 in Greifswald .

The two different frequencies for the regional mux in Bremen and Hamburg come from the fact that the stations Radio Bremen TV on K46 (674 MHz) and NDR HH on K40 (626 MHz) are broadcast on their own mux. NDR HH is broadcast twice by the two stations concerned (also on K41).
Remaining DVB-T channels
The regional broadcasters in Hamburg, Halle, Leipzig and Berlin continue to broadcast in the DVB-T standard. Several other stations are also broadcast in Berlin and Leipzig. At the changeover date only the channels were changed due to the Digital Dividend II . In addition, on the changeover date on March 29, 2017, NDR and Radio Bremen were the only broadcasters in all converted regions to put a simulcast multiplex with the programs Das Erste, ZDF and two national versions of NDR television into operation. This simulcast operation was discontinued on April 25 and June 30, 2017:
| region | channel | Programs |
|---|---|---|
| Bremen / Lower Weser | K32 (562 MHz) | Das Erste, ZDF, NDR NDS, rbTV |
| Aurich / East Frisia | K58 (770 MHz) | |

Felsberg-Berus transmitter
In addition, the start-up of the Felsberg-Berus site in Saarland is planned.
