All of MediaCorp's 7 Free- To-Air channels will go fully digital by December 2013. Four of these (Channel 5, Channel 8, Suria and Vasantham) will also be transmitted in high definition by then, while the remaining three (Channel NewsAsia, Okto and Channel U) will follow suit by 2016.
Singapore's roadmap calls for a complete analog switch off by 2020. This is the deadline that all ASEAN countries have agreed to switch off analogue signals.
Currently, 40% households in Singapore do not subscribe to pay-TV. Among those who do, many have secondary TV sets that are not linked to a pay-TV service.
