April 15, 2019 in Russia had to turn off the analog broadcasting. Today, July 30, I scanned the Moscow air and found seven analog channels.
On I was near the Ostankino television tower and was surprised last week that the powerful cooling fans vacuum tube analog meter wave transmitters located in the "skirt" of the tower, still noisy (UHF transmitters are small and are located upstairs Tower).
Today looked that now is in the Moscow television.
Running meter on a single channel 175 MHz broadcasts "Match! The country". Six analog UHF channels broadcast "Che", "360 Moscow", "the Disney", "TNT", "S" and "Super!".
TV found 40 digital channels, but in fact they are only 29: 58 UHF channel began broadcasting a double first multiplex (so the first 10 channels and three radio channels are simply repeated). Previously, there was an experimental channel, the UltraHD, but it somehow turned off.
I wonder, really bulky, consuming wild power and heat is released a lot of transmission equipment He continues to work for the sake of one accident channel "Match", which is hardly someone looks in analog format?
