5 DTT HD receivers perfect to continue watching TV after the imminent blackout

We are a week away from the SD DTT channels officially disappearing to make way for DTT HD. As we have already warned you, On February 14, all channels that broadcast through DTT will have to do so in HD. If you have a relatively new television (up to 10 years old it could even be compatible) you will not have a major problem, it will only be necessary to retune to remove the SD channels from the grid and order their HD alternatives. But If you have an older television that is not compatible with HD broadcasts, you will stop watching DTT.

What can you do if this is your case? There are several solutions, but One of the simplest is to purchase a DTT receiver that is compatible with HD DTT.. It is true that we will have to make an investment, but it will be much more affordable than the one we would have to make if we want to change television (although it can be the perfect excuse to get rid of that TV that you have had for a thousand years). So if you love your current TV and don't want to get complicated with IPTV lists, all you have to do is purchase a compatible receiver. And to help you out, here we bring you 5 models that we found interesting.

With these 5 receivers for DTT HD you will have no problems continuing to watch TV from February 14

We have selected for you five receivers compatible with DTT HD based on several factors, such as brand, availability, compatibility and other characteristics. Of course any compatible receiver will work, but we found these very interesting.
