The "Ultra HD Revolution" personally approved by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television: forcing the replacement of 18 million old set-top boxes nationwide this year, even Beijing Gehua Cable has urgently issued a notice, and on the 28th, the entire network will be forcibly searched.
What's even more exciting is that Beijing TV has secretly taken the lead, and now it's Guangdong TV's turn to stuff these black technologies such as robot fighting competitions and 4K slow live broadcasts into your living room. Behind this major overhaul lies a super battlefield with 300 million television terminals hidden.
Guangdong TV's 4K ultra high definition channel officially connected to the national cable TV and IPTV networks in the early morning of June 28th. The 4K ultra high definition signal of Shenzhen TV has appeared synchronously in the TV set-top boxes of users across the country. The "Ultra HD Development Year" plan launched by the State Administration of Radio and Television in early 2025 is accelerating in this form.
Both China Central Radio and Television Station and nine provincial and municipal satellite TV channels will complete the ultra high definition transformation within this year. Beijing TV had already launched its ultra high definition channel as early as April 22nd. The second batch of provincial-level channels is now being fully launched. According to the technical announcement of Beijing Gehua Cable, 62 sets of standard definition channels will be simultaneously taken offline during this broadcast.
