Germans confused over implications of switchover

Over 30% of Germans are unaware that analogue cable services will continue after analogue satellite services are switched off in April next year, according to a survey carried out by Ipsos on behalf of cable operator Kabel Deutschland (KDG).

Just over half of respondents new that analogue cable services would continue after digital switchover on satellite, according to the survey. KDG has committed to continuing to offer analogue TV services.
