Digital terrestrial television in Portugal

Digital terrestrial television in Portugal (Portuguese: Televisão Digital Terrestre, or TDT) launched on 29 April 2009 with (as of December 2016) 7 free-to-air (FTA) channels. In the Azores and Madeira Islands, regional channels (RTP Açores or RTP Madeira) are available. By June 2010 TDT coverage reached 83% of the population and was expected to reach 100% by the end of 2010. The analog to digital conversion finished on 26 April 2012.
