Question

When did digital TV broadcasts commence?

Answer

Digital TV commenced in 2001 in metropolitan areas and digital signals have been broadcast in many regional areas since then. Digital broadcasts are currently transmitted alongside analog broadcasts, but when the analog signals are switched off, only TVs which are capable of receiving digital signals through a set top box or built-in tuner will work.
