Digital TV comes to Tuvalu
It’s taken 8 months of work with the joint efforts of TVBC and MMG along with the efforts of management and staff of Click Pacific Papua New Guinea to get local TV finally commissioned in Tuvalu. The DVBT2 platform is the latest digital terrestrial technology and now places Tuvalu alongside Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Kiribati, Niue and Papua New Guinea as DVBT2 territories. “We are very happy for the people of Tuvalu. It’s 11 channels of TV they never had and should bring about a lot of change especially with the local channel” MMG’s Richard Broadbridge said. We have a team of 3 on the ground and as of today 50 customers have been installed in 4 days. These are 50 households which never had TV. We salute the amazing effort of TVBC management and staff along with Telecom Tuvalu and the Public Works Department. Everyone is working towards selling all Tuvalu.TV’s stock before the Prime Minister officially launches the platform on December 17. Tuvalu.TV is MMG’s third Digital TV platform install in the Pacific Islands.
