DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL television (DTT), a technology that is set to herald a new era in television viewing across Europe, will be available in the Republic from autumn 2009, according to Minister for Communications Éamon Ryan.
DTT, which will eventually replace the traditional analogue television signals, will be available in 80 per cent of households by the end of 2009 and will be extended to all households by 2012, when the Government plans to switch off the analogue signal.
