The Ministry of Communication and Information of the Republic of Indonesia will end Analog TV broadcasts or Analog Switch Off (ASO) no later than November 2, 2022. ASO ends in accordance with the provisions of Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation Article 78 Number 3 of the Post, Telecommunication, and Broadcasting Sector (Postelsiar) which is being carried out in stages starting on April 30, 2022.
Special Staff of the Minister of Communication and Information, Rosarita Niken Widiastuti said, in most areas in Indonesia on November 2, 2022, Analog TV broadcasts will be turned off.
“
So to switch to Digital TV broadcasts in a very easy way, you just need to add a device called a set-top box that is added to an Analog TV set. So Analog TV can be a flat screen that is not yet digital or tube TV so that people can enjoy Digital TV broadcasts," he said, Sunday (20/10/2022) on the sidelines of the Socialization of the New Era of Digital TV Broadcasts entitled "Goodbye to Analog TV Broadcasts: Indonesia is Ready ASO” in Mataram Udayana Gora Earth Park.
He explained, Digital TV broadcasts are not subscription TV or don't pay a month but only once, namely buying a set-top box that is certified by the Indonesian Ministry of Communication and Informatics. Extremely poor households will receive free set-top box assistance from broadcasting institutions providing multiplexing infrastructure (MUX). If later there is a shortage, the government will add it so that the extremely poor households get a set-top box.
For certain areas where set-top box distribution has not yet been completed and infrastructure development is still in progress, the closure of Analog TV broadcasts will be adjusted according to the readiness of the region.
"Meanwhile, for areas where the distribution of set-top boxes for this assistance has not been evenly distributed and is still in the process, it will not be closed yet. But later it will be 100 percent, of course, the Analog TV broadcast will be closed soon, "he said.
Niken appealed to people who can afford to buy a set-top box as soon as possible so they can get better broadcast quality, clearer sound, better pictures, and advanced technology.
The Information and Communication Ministry has carried out socialization on the migration of analog TV to digital TV for more than a year through various events that involve the wider community so that the transition and closure of analog TV to digital TV is massively conveyed.
"Like this morning, the Car Free Day (CFD) event was held simultaneously in 20 cities throughout Indonesia. So we come to the community, inviting the community to joint activities as well as socializing the termination of Analog TV broadcasts," he said.
The former Managing Director of LPP RRI added that there were many benefits to be gained from Digital TV. In addition to good picture quality, this Digital TV switch is also to expand internet access. So that for areas where the internet is still slow or slow, it will no longer exist after the frequency is set, they will get better and faster internet access.
"Communities in NTB and other communities in Indonesia can successfully transition analog TV to digital TV by adding set-top boxes to analog TV in their respective homes," he said.
