Digital TV in Malaysia
By 2015, Malaysia's analogue TV system introduced since the first TV broadcasting will fully converted to digital system. By that time, Malaysia will have TV channel as many as 19. In the plan, RTM is expected to introduce these 19 free-to-air channels with seven would contain content from RTM such as news, dramas, sports, lifestyle and entertainment and the remainder would be offered to private companies. The current problem is how to equip each household with a decoder to receive digital signals. The cost of the decoder will decide whether we may get the decoder free or subsidy. Latest news said that it may cost around RM500. RTM has started its trials for digital terrestrial TV since September 2006. The high-definition television (HDTV) is part of the digitalization and we can see more and more HDTV set sell in the market.
