UK retirees will have to pay for TV again
Against the background of sometimes emerging criticism about 20 free terrestrial TV channels in Russia or Zeonbud works in Ukraine, where viewers can watch for free not only national channels, but also regional, I would like to talk about events in the UK, where viewers are older 75 years you will have to pay again to use the TV. This year they were exempted from such a duty due to the coronavirus, but since autumn all benefits will be canceled. It is reported by the newspaper "Sun".
Let me quote here from British journalists.: “75-year-old viewers (and older more - OBOB.TV) will not enjoy free TV licenses with 1 August, it was confirmed today. Free use should have ended 1 June, but the BBC has extended it for millions of older Britons due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, as a result of which many were forced to stay at home.
There were rumors, that this decision can be renewed again, this time until October, but today the BBC reported, that with 1 user fees will begin in August. Now three million families will have to start paying 157,50 pounds sterling for a license for a color TV or 57 pounds sterling for a "black and white" license ".
Our reader can ironically say: “What are these 157 pounds versus income?”. And it will be wrong. First, in this country some families still use black and white TVs to pay less. Second, in case of regular non-fulfillment of payments, criminal liability may arise. And thirdly ... However, let's give the floor to the author of the material of the newspaper "Sun":
“The government has stopped funding free licenses for older people 75 years in 2015 year, transferring responsibility to the BBC. But last year the BBC announced, from June 2020 will terminate this initiative. The decision was met with widespread dismay., petitions were signed calling for the cancellation of the decision, collected hundreds of thousands of signatures. Boris Johnson also believed, that the BBC made the "wrong decision" to revoke free television licenses for older people 75 years. Prime Minister's spokesman said today: “This is the wrong decision. We recognize the value of free TV licenses for older people 75 years and believe, that they should be funded by the BBC ".
... Implementation of the scheme ... in practice would mean the closure of BBC Two, BBC Four, BBC News channel, BBC Scotland, BBC Radio 5 Live and a number of local radio stations ”.
This whole story once again reminds, that in fact television and radio are a very expensive area. Why, then, TV channels in Russia and Ukraine are provided to viewers on terrestrial air for free? The answer is obvious here, but is no longer relevant to the topic of this material.

 

Polish public television goes to HD
TV channel Polonia, which is Poland's de facto state television, unveiled plans to convert broadcast to high definition standard (HDTV). And they turned out to be not quite standard and differ from how it happens in Germany, Turkey, Italy, Russia or Ukraine. We have indicated these countries, because they have well developed satellite TV. And Poland can be safely included in this list.. Polish TV people really plan to go their own way and just switch to the best quality broadcasting standard.
Everything will happen very quickly - On the night of 31 August 1 September 2020 TVP Polonia broadcast from the Eutelsat Hot Bird satellite (13 degrees East longitude) will be switched from SD to HD resolution.

Ultra HD / HDR is gaining popularity in Germany
Ultra HD (UHD) gradually becomes the standard for televisions in Germany. The publication broadbandtvnews.com writes about this in its material..
In the first half 2020 year in the country was sold about 3,2 million TVs. Of these, almost 70% (2,2 million) compiled models with support for the ultra high definition standard (UHD/4K). This data was published by the industry association Deutsche TV-Plattform with reference to a study by GfK Retail & Technology.
Almost all TV screens sold (97%) support high dynamic range (HDR) and therefore can display content with a significantly wider contrast range and more natural colors.
“This is why we would like, to film production, TV series, show, UHD-HDR documentaries and sports continued to increase, to close the gap between the number of devices in homes and the availability of content ”, Said Karin Chardon. , Managing Director Deutsche TV-Plattform.
“In just the last five years, almost 14 million Ultra HD TVs with HDR. It shows, that this fundamental change in the hardware market is in full swing ”, Chardon added.
