Broadcasting digital migration policy

Cabinet approved the long awaited Broadcasting Digital Migration Policy on 06 August 2008. The broadcasting digital migration affects all NAB members who are television broadcasters, viewers, and the country at large; hence the NAB has an interest in the smooth migration. The document elaborately outlines the importance of the migration, and the framework within which digital migration should take place in South Africa. The government is busy finalising minimum specifications for Set-to-Boxes, hence the Policy does not cover same.
