Poczta Polska processes applications for subsidies for the purchase of televisions and decoders
Due to the change in the digital terrestrial television broadcasting standard, Poczta Polska is processing applications for subsidies for the purchase of digital receivers. As of March 30th, subsidies for digital receivers depend on the type of receiver and amount to PLN 250 for a television and PLN 100 for a decoder.
The change in the way digital terrestrial television is broadcast requires adapting receivers to the new requirements for receiving DVB-T2/HEVC terrestrial television. This means that users of older TVs must purchase a device capable of receiving the new signal.
Previously, support for households in covering the costs of purchasing a new device was PLN 100. As mentioned above, as of the end of March, it has been PLN 100 or PLN 250. This change does not affect the application submission process. A special code, provided by a Poczta Polska employee, is the basis for receiving funding, the amount of which depends on the type of equipment purchased. Applications can be submitted at all post offices and branches (excluding postal agencies).
Important! Previously allocated codes that have not yet been redeemed can be used either as a PLN 250 subsidy towards the purchase of a TV or as a PLN 100 subsidy towards the purchase of a decoder.
The purchase of receivers is now possible in over 2,600 sales points located throughout Poland: https://dvbt2.gov.pl/wyszukiwarka
In Poland, the transition from DVB-T to DVB-T2/HEVC is taking place regionally, in four stages. The first switchovers began on March 28 in the Lower Silesian and Lubusz Voivodeships. The final switchover will take place on June 27.
