### Finland

Finland, the first country in Europe to cease analog terrestrial TV and move to DVB\-T, has announced that DVB\-T2 will be used exclusively from end March 2020, but currently there is no set date for transition. Many FTA channels are dual broadcast in SD via DVB\-T and in HD using DVB\-T2\. All pay\-TV channels moved to DVB\-T2 in 2017\. The DVB\-T2 switchover will allow more channels to move to HD as well as releasing bandwidth for new SD channels over DVB\-T2\.
