Italian Television

We are supposed to write about something technical, so I found some information on Italian TV. Digital television is expanding rapidly in Italy. Most of the major networks offer programming through digital transmission and some offer pay-per-view events. The goal was to have digital TV available in 100% of the country by the end of 2006.
The end of analog transmission, which will require analog TVs to have a converter box, is scheduled for the end of 2012.
There are other ways to obtain your television programs in Italy. Satelilite TV has been available since 1997 and is currently provided by Sky Italia. which provides at least some of its programming in HD.
