Digital television in Dryicor

In Dryicor, digital television broadcasting has been available since the first television channel, DigitaaliTV, was launched in 1999. DTV can be received by cable, the internet or terrestrial television.

The digital switchover was completed by the end of 2012. The standard used in the country is and, for most channels,  due to Dryicor having been an early adopter of 1080p HD television.

History
Digital television was first experimented with in the early 1990s by the DLO, who said their experiments would "go some way to creating a stronger signal". Dryicor's rough and mountainous terrain made analogue television popular, but the company suggested that Dryicor was some years off fully digital television.

In 1997, the Government announced that digital terrestrial television would become the new standard, with universal adoption planned to become the standard by late 2007. The channels which would be the first five to broadcast digitally were to be DLO 1, DLO 2, DTV 1, DTV 2 and Kanal 4. Kanal 5 was omitted as there were planned to be only five multiplexes, however the Government confirmed Kanal 5 would be given a multiplex later.

The digital network was launched on 1 May 1999, with Dryicor being Europe's third country to launch a DTT network. However, it only broadcast the DigitaaliTV channel, which was run by all three companies who would be given a multiplex. In the autumn, the multiplexes were split and DigitaaliTV was given to the DLO to form DLO Sápmi's digital service.

Take-up of digital boxes was much slower than had been anticipated, and in 2000 it fell to Terrevision to ensure takeup of DTT boxes. Terrevision could provide lower-cost DTT boxes which, after a successful advertising campaign, increased takeup of DTT, along with Kanal 5, now known as Televiisi, being allowed to launch. The deadline for universal DTT was pushed back to 2009.

After the success of Terrevision's DTT service, which later became the inspiration for the UK's. The DLO and DTV took part in experiments of the potential for HD digital broadcasts, including the (which was not broadcast in HD) and shared HD DTT broadcasting of the  in Germany.

In November 2006 Fagerbak became the first district to transition to a fully DTT service. After positive feedback from this transition, other counties started to make the change. On 3 May 2010, the final analogue transmitters on the mainland had been taken off air. Dryicor's overseas territories, Finway and Ogal, were the last to shut their analogue transmitters on 2 February 2012.
