The terrestrial digital television(TNT) is a mode of terrestrial television broadcasting, in which video ,audio, data signals are digitalized then organized in a unique flux (the multiplex) , before they are broadcasted via electromagnetic waves .
In the framework, of establishing the terrestrial digital television network (TNT), the Regional Radiocommunication Conference of Geneva 2006 has granted from 06 to 08 multiplex for each broadcasting site, every multiplex allows to broadcast from 06 to 08 television channel and this , in respecting of dates technically granted by the radiocommunication conference to shift from the analogical broadcasting into the digital one , namely for VHF and UHF (for Europe) , and 2015 for UHF and 2020 for VHF (for Africa and Middle East).
This conference endowed Algeria 2074 frequencies, 439 frequencies for the digital radio (T-DAB) in VHF, 177 frequencies for the digital television (DVB-T) in VHF AND 1458 in UHF.
Stopping the analogical broadcasting and shifting all into the digital due dates is an inevitable decision, whish is imposed on all the States, knowing that they will not be disposed of any right of protection if they don’t follow recommendations of the International Union of Telecommunications for digitalizing the television terrestrial broadcasting .
The establishment of TNT networks is being the subject of some operations enter in the frameworks of investments programs 2005-2009 and 2010-2014 within an amount of sixteen billion , seven- hundred thirty million, two hundred and one thousand dinars (16 730 201 000, 00) .
