Poland's DVB‑T2 TV Reception Guide and Cable Extension Tips

In 2022 Poland transitioned its terrestrial television broadcast to the DVB‑T2 HEVC standard, requiring about 2.2 million households to adjust or replace equipment, according to the KRRiT and the Ministry of Digitalisation. Proper antenna positioning is essential to avoid picture problems such as pixelation, and the guide outlines steps for selecting the right antenna type, locating transmitters, mounting, and fine‑tuning the signal.

For viewers needing longer cabling, the advice stresses maintaining a 75 Ω impedance throughout the run, using quality coaxial cables such as RG‑6, Triset‑113 or Televes T100, and reliable F‑type connectors. Correct installation preserves shielding and minimizes attenuation, preventing signal loss that can cause channel freezing or degraded picture quality.
