{Disarmed} If your Xiaomi TV is not HD, you are left without DTT: so you can know if it is compatible (or try these alternatives)
The National Technical Plan for Spanish Digital Terrestrial Television has just planted a new barrier on the obsolescence of our televisions. According to a measure collected in the BOE , this 2022 is the last year in which we will be able to see non-HD channels on our TV . That is, we have a year to change or we will simply no longer be able to tune SD channels, all those at resolutions lower than HD, since these are excluded from tuning.
This measure has been approved and published since June 25, 2019. It requires an "evolution" of all high definition broadcasts from each of the channels that wish to continue broadcasting. On January 1, 2023 the tap is cut off . Of course, there are alternatives. We will tell you.
Four alternatives to DTT
Currently, all the TV models that Xiaomi sells are smartTV with HD Ready resolutions (720p) onwards, so you should not have a problem. You can check the characteristics of your TV by following this route: select the General Settings wheel > Device Preferences> Information .
However, if you have any of the brand's first models, you may have an incompatibility problem . But that doesn't mean that you can't keep enjoying all your favorite channels. For some time now there are dozens of alternatives to have hundreds of free channels on your TV.
We recommend these four apps compatible with Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO smartphones that you can use as a source of broadcast and retransmission. All of them have their own content search engine.
- Photocall : to enjoy this alternative you will need to have a browser installed on your TV. From the Photocall.tv website you will be able to see hundreds of national and international channels and enjoy them without advertising and at the highest quality compatible with your network.
- TDTChannels : Although not provided through Google Play, this application is completely legal and can be downloaded from here - it requires activating the installation from unknown sources. It offers quality broadcasting of all general media and several streaming alternatives for each channel.
- Tivify : another proposal with TV Guide and the possibility to record, pause, advance and rewind the contents. It allows voice searches and streaming content to any miracast-compatible system.
- Mitele : similar service, with payment service, 10 live channels and a short catalog of national and foreign series, movies and some sporting events.
The jump to DTT-2
It should be taken into account that the new DVB-T2 decoding regulations , commonly referred to as DTT2, will bring with it important changes and improvements that translate into a much higher bandwidth , in order to be able to broadcast and reproduce the first 4K channels.
The increase in quality does not seem to affect the fluency of the broadcast, since the new codecs and compression algorithms will offer a higher bitrate without penalizing the visual quality. You just have to take a look at Netflix's AV1 , H.265 or the current HBOMax algorithm to see it.
