It was at the beginning of summer when we talked about the arrival of maximum resolution to DTT in Spain or at least its general availability thanks to the bet that RTVE made.
DTT in Spain is preparing to take a leap in quality and finally abandon the resolutions 1080i and 720p (and in some cases even SD), to give the jump to 4K resolution. TV is headed for an important change and this is what you can do to stay up to date.
At maximum resolution
The date is set. The RTVE public entity has already approved the decision to start regular broadcasts in Ultra High Definition or what is the same, in UHD-4K. The key date will be next February 15, 2024. From then on, TVE will be seen regularly as another DTT channel.
But it is not just TVE UHD 1, but the public company later released TVE UHD 2. In this way, RTVE has two channels in 4K UHD from DTT. TVE UHD 2, is the most recent to join and for the moment, RTVE uses it to retransmit the Teledeporte signal (TDP), scaled to 4K. A channel where, for example, you can watch some sports at maximum resolution and news from the world of sports thanks to Teledeporte.
What do you need

If you have a compatible TV, you live in an area where there is coverage And if, if you have a particular antenna, it is compatible with 4K and is oriented in the correct direction, you just have to tune the channels on your TV again. In this sense, it is advisable to use manual tuning so as not to lose all the channels and the ordering of the channels that we already have. In this link, you have the table with the channel number that you should search for according to your location.

This way you can watch Teledeporte with higher quality than what the Teledeporte HD channel offers. And if you want, You can now start watching the sport at maximum qualityalthough for this you must take into account something very important.
And although most of the televisions in homes already include a HD tuner for DTTmake the leap to 4K resolution It is something only within the reach of the most modern, since only these comply with the DVB-T2 standard. Since March 2020, any television sold must include the ability to receive broadcasts with DVB-T2 signal transmission technology.
Meanwhile and until next February 14, 2024, RTVE will continue testing with TVE UHD to from February 15, 2024 make the leap to regular broadcasting in the RGE2 multiplex in UHD, occupying the capacity assigned to RTVE in said space by the current National DTT Technical Plan.
