Digital terrestrial television in Estonia

Digital terrestrial television in Estonia, was officially launched on 15 December 2006, when the operator Zuum TV launched its pay service on two multiplexes.[1] Transmissions are made with MPEG-4 AVC compression using the DVB-T standard. A DVB-T2 standard-based network (Multiplex 7) has been created for HD-quality TV picture transmission.[2]

In June 2007, Levira and ETV announced that they had agreed to launch an HDTV trial in July 2007.[3]

In November 2007, a third multiplex was launched, covering almost all of the country. This multiplex was to be used by free-to-air services, while the two existing national multiplexes would only carry pay channels. Hence the public channel ETV was transferred to the new multiplex.[4] At this time there are only 10 free-to-air channels (four news channels and channels from ERR and Duo Media (Kanal 7, Kino 7 and MyHits)) while others are pay-TV channels, offered by AS Elisa.[5]

As of 28 April 2025, there are 6 high definition and 36 standard definition channels on these multiplexes:[6]
