The Ministry of Communication and Informatics also appealed to mux or multiplexing organizers to improve their signals, so that people can easily receive digital TV broadcasts.
“For TV broadcast programs and broadcasting stakeholders, continuous socialization so that people immediately switch to digital TV. For STB and digital TV providers so that the prices are affordable and easily available in the retail market and market place.”
In that statement, the Ministry of Communication and Informatics also stated that the results of the Nielsen survey as of May 1, 2023, digital TV penetration in 11 major cities was over 90%. While in Java, close to 100%,
