TV3
HD was presented like the big project in high definition emphasizing to the being the first chain of television of Spain in expressing under this format. The Catalan autonomic television was pioneering in incorporating the emission in original version into the dual system. Also in the tests of the
TDT and from April 23, 2007 it turned into the first chain in Spain that it was expressing in high definition.
(To see news about April, 2007)
The beginning of this emission in high definition in tests period realized across the channel 43 of the
UHF in the province of Barcelona, in which the first emission of TV3 began in
TDT. But the project in spite of the scarce hours of production in high definition has turned out to be suddenly interrupted on having stopped, without previous notice, the emission.
The political decision of Generalitat de Catalunya to incorporate the Valencian autonomic television Channel
Nou last August provoked that one had to liberate the band of the channel 43 of the
UHF that was occupying until now TV3
HD.
For the time being no official explanation exists neither to the cessation of the emission of TV3 nor
HD either the possible date in which these are resumed again. This portal of
tivotoday.com has received citizens' numerous complaints that in due time acquired the necessary and indispensable technical team to receive the sign in MPEG-4 of TV3
HD and that now have remained without seeing the only thing that of free form, openly, it was possible to receive in Spain (in this case in Catalonia) in high definition.
