Service added to DTT platform
The public service broadcaster RTS has launched a new digital service on the trial DTT platform dedicated to arts and culture. Other services already available on the platform are RTS-1, RTS-2 and TV Avala.
The trial DTT platform is available in the regions of Belgrade and Novi Sad.
Eventually a DTT licence will be allocated to a single multiplex operator responsible for licensing content.
Analogue switch off is expected to be completed by the end of 2011 and this is likely to be re-confirmed when the countries new digital strategy is announced in 2009.

DTT Pilot Project Launched in Serbia
The Public service broadcaster RTS, (Serbian Broadcasting Corporation) officially launched the countries first digital terrestrial pilot trial on the 10th May 2005.
Using the DVB-T standard the pilot will provide coverage of the capital city Belgrade from a single transmitter. The transmitted multiplex will initially simulcast the three existing TV programmes RTS1, RTS2 and RTS3 as well as four radio programmes. The remaining TV slot designated RTS4 will be used for special test programmes.
These pilot transmissions will enable field measurements to confirm coverage predictions as well as provide system operational experience. Later an additional transmitter and gap-fillers will be added to the system.
