In the latest paper, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology requires that from 2015, all TV sets sold in China should have terrestrial digital TV reception capabilities. Some media interpreted it as "the set-top box will disappear in 2015."
However, the reporter learned that this is a misreading of the above-mentioned documents, the set-top box will not only disappear, its function will be even more powerful. The file will not affect existing cable TV users, and cable TV users may have difficulty getting rid of the set-top box.
Yesterday, the reporter learned from the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that in the latest paper, the relevant departments required that from 2015 onwards, all TV sets sold in China should have terrestrial digital TV reception. This statement caused some media to interpret it as "the set-top box will disappear in 2015."
Set-top boxes are just transition products?
"Every time I turn on the TV, I have to wait for the turn-on time of the set-top box, which is annoying." Xiaoqiu, who lives in Tianhe District, told this reporter, "If only the set-top box could be cancelled."
It is worth noting that recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Joint Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the "Implementation Opinions on Popularizing Terrestrial Digital TV Receivers" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"). receive.
In terms of specific implementation steps, from January 1, 2014, terrestrial digital TV receiving functions are required for TV sets with a size of 40 inches and above sold in the domestic market. From January 1, 2015, all sizes of TVs sold in the domestic market should have terrestrial digital TV reception capabilities.
The "Opinions" stated that the products sold should meet the national standards for terrestrial digital television receivers. The stock TV products without terrestrial digital TV receiving function produced before the above-mentioned deadline shall be distributed to terrestrial digital TV set-top boxes when they are sold.
Relevant departments encourage the addition of terrestrial digital TV receiving modules to direct broadcast satellite set-top boxes used in rural areas where the cable television network is unreachable. Related set-top box products should meet the national standards for terrestrial digital TV receivers.
Does the MIIT document mean that the set-top box will disappear in the future? Some media said, "Since January 1, 2015, set-top boxes as a transitional product may gradually withdraw from the market."
The physical form of set-top boxes is gradually changing
However, the above statement misread the Opinions. Broadcast and television industry veteran Bao Ran told this reporter that the disappearance of set-top boxes confuses the concept of digital TV. In fact, terrestrial digital TV, cable digital TV, satellite TV, IPTV, and Internet TV are all branches of the concept of large digital TV. The "Opinions" of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology are only aimed at terrestrial digital TV and cannot be equated with all digital TV forms and industrial ecology.
"The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology documents mean that all digital terrestrial TV set-top boxes will be integrated into TV sets after 2015," Bao Ran said, while cable digital TV set-top boxes and Internet boxes are not affected in any way, and their functions will be more abundant and perfect.
Bao Ran pointed out that terrestrial digital TV, as a kind of big digital TV, has the characteristics of free and public welfare, and contains far fewer channels than cable TV.
Li Congxiang, a spokesman for the domestic set-top box manufacturer Skyworth Digital, also told this reporter that the statement of set-top box elimination and delisting is indeed wrong. The set-top box bears the function of operators' value-added services. If consumers want to watch large movies and look back TV and other functions are realized through set-top boxes.
However, in terms of specific presentation forms, it is possible for the set-top box to be placed in a television to achieve a "two-in-one" between the set-top box and the television. The core component of the set-top box is just a circuit board, which can be built independently or integrated into the TV. The all-in-one machine currently on the market belongs to the latter.
