In August 2024, Italian television took another evolutionary step by introducing the DVB-T2 standard and HEVC encoding. Rai Way led this transformation, improving broadcast quality and opening new opportunities for broadcasters and viewers.
To receive the full Rai offering, retuning is recommended, even for devices already compatible with the new standard.
Following the completion of the transition to DVB-T2, Rai Way continued its commitment to ensuring optimal TV signal reception, carrying out targeted interventions in Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia—areas particularly sensitive to interference linked to summer propagation phenomena.
On 1 July 2025, the Mux-B was reconfigured on 22 transmission sites in the two regions and neighbouring areas. This operation realigned the radiated signals, significantly improving reception quality along the coastline and in inland areas.
Rai 1, Rai 2 and Rai 3 can now be received in excellent quality also in HD (channels 501, 502, 503), carried by Mux-B.
This initiative is part of a national plan for technological evolution aimed at strengthening the resilience of the broadcasting system and delivering a better TV experience across the country.
