NCA implements Digital TV receiver quality standards for Ghana

The National Communications Authority (NCA) has announced the reinstatement of the Digital Television Receiver Conformance Regime to ensure the quality and compliance of digital television receivers, such as set-top boxes and integrated digital TV sets, sold in the country.

NCA, in a statement on Wednesday, March  20, 2024, stated that as part of the new regime, all Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) and Digital Satellite Television (DTH) receivers must pass a conformance test and be certified to use a receiver certification logo.

The General Public is advised to look for the DTT, DTH, and Combo Satellite and Terrestrial conformance logos on all receivers, including set-top boxes and integrated digital TV sets, sold in Ghana.

This Regime requires all DTT and DTH receivers, such as set-top boxes and integrated digital TV sets, sold in Ghana, to pass a conformance test and be certified to use a receiver certification logo.

In accordance with this development, the Authority has published new Minimum Requirements for receivers of Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) and Digital Satellite Television (DTH) services in Ghana.

The document sets forth the requirements for receivers intended to receive terrestrial or satellite television programmes and can be accessed on the NCA website (www.nca.org.gh).

The General Public is therefore advised to check for the DTT, DTH and Combo Satellite and Terrestrial conformance logos on all receivers, including set-top boxes and integrated digital TV sets, sold in Ghana
