Repack Ready: The Answer to NextGen TV Challenges

2 May 2022

Just when it seemed like over-the-air (OTA) TV had reached a dead end, Advanced Television Systems Committee 3.0 (ATSC 3.0) or Next Generation TV (NextGen TV), has begun emerging in markets across the United States. This TV technology comes with numerous features designed to transform your viewing experience. 

The possible negative effect of mobile phone signal interference could degrade your viewing experience. That is why you need some special devices alongside your NextGen TV. 

The spectrum repack solutions from Televes should give you the confidence of a flawless TV experience. 

 

What is NextGen TV? 

NextGen TV refers to the new generation of digital television technology that is under a set of standards called ATSC 3.0. The technology blends broadcast and broadband resulting in superior cord-free TV. 

It is being touted as not only offering much-improved pictures and sound but also being more convenient. One difference between OTA and NextGen TV is a special inbuilt tuner in the latter. New TVs only started coming with the tuner in 2020, although the pace of tuner adoption by manufacturers is gathering speed now. 

But there are more changes to the digital terrestrial television landscape in the US on top of the introduction of this technology. In recent years the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has auctioned UHF spectrum to mobile data carriers and had to re-allocate traditional OTA TV frequencies and relocate or “Repack” them in the reduced bandwidth now available to traditional television broadcasters to make room for Mobile 5G enhanced services. This is likely to cause interference or even blockage of the TV signal, overload of preamplifiers and distribution networks, etc.
