Quoted from CNN Indonesia -- Since the announcement of the digital television migration program plan, there have been many unresolved problems in society. This analog tv injection is in accordance with the Minister of Communication and Informatics Regulation No. 6 of 2021 concerning Broadcasting and its Amendments. The government divides the analog switch off or ASO into three stages.
The first stage was held on April 30, the second on August 25 in 31 broadcast areas covering 110 districts/cities and the third stage on November 2 in 25 broadcast areas covering 65 districts/cities.
The number of broadcasting institutions that broadcast analogue currently reaches 697 broadcasting institutions throughout Indonesia. Simultaneous broadcasting has started since 2019 and is currently carried out by 521 TV stations to cover 90 broadcast areas or 294 districts and cities.
The first thing to be faced is that many local residents misunderstand the migration program from analog television to digital television. This was stated by Deputy Chairman of Commission I of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Abdul Kharis Almasyhari, during a Working Meeting with the Minister of Communication and Information at the Parliament Complex.
According to Abdul Kharis, people still regard ASO as a paid program. As experienced by Hasanudin, a community leader in Bumi Harapan Village, Sepaku District, North Penajam Paser Regency (PPU).
Nearby, Penajam Paser Utara, East Kalimantan, was one of 166 regencies/cities that entered the first stage of switch off of analog TV on April 30.
"No, I don't know, there has been no socialization. We don't know when it will start. If [Analog TV] is turned off, [residents] of Sepaku will be confused," he said, to CNNIndonesia.com, Thursday (21/4).
According to Hasanudin, the majority of people in his area are already using cable TV at home to watch broadcasts. Therefore, he is worried that the analog-to-digital migration could affect television viewing in his home.
"I use cable TV at home, I don't use antennas. Here too, people rarely use antennas, many use Matrix [Parabola]. However, sometimes the signal is good, sometimes it's lost," he added. The second problem is where there are still many people who know about the deadline for lethal injection for analog broadcasts. According to Abdul Kharis, the second problem occurred because of the lack of socialization related to the ASO program.
"When I loved the people, they were surprised that in November 2022 analog television broadcasts would stop and be replaced with digital television broadcasts," said Abdul, who is the custodian of the PKS.
Third, digital broadcast licenses are also considered too expensive for local television. Digital TV channel permits are paid for through Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) collected by TVRI.
These costs are generalized across regions. In fact, the ability of local television is said to be incomparable with national TV.
Member of Commission I DPR RI Nico Siahaan said that local TV revenue from advertisements was not the same as national TV. Meanwhile, the price set by the center is almost the same, around Rp. 25 million per month, which can absorb Rp. 250 to Rp. 300 million per year for private TV, which is considered very burdensome for local TV.
"In their area [local TV stations] scream. So we have to find a middle way, meaning that PNBP will continue, but even those below don't feel like they have been oppressed," said Deputy Chairman of Commission I DPR Bambang Kristiono, based on a working visit to North Maluku, some time ago.
Fourth, what is also a problem in the ASO program is the number of channels on digital tv. Many people ask whether the number of channels they receive is the same as before using digital tv.
