that owns e.tv and Openview, has told communications regulator Icasa that digital terrestrial television in South Africa has failed and has no future.
“The actual state of DTT in this country leaves much to be desired – instead of taking broadcasting to a new level. Maybe 10 years ago we could have done something to ensure that DTT could survive, there has been a laziness to the process — and we are now at a point where DTT is archaic, expensive and will not work because television has evolved,” said Sherrif.
In its written submission to the inquiry, eMedia said reasons for the delay in the migration to digital broadcasts are “numerous”, citing problems associated the with government subsidised set-top-box roll-out, low levels of awareness among many households and the continued non-availability of set-top boxes in retail stores.
