# List of digital television stations in Vietnam

This is the list of the stations on digital television in Vietnam. The channels that are available to viewers depends on the location.
The current DVB-T2 television system is being used to broadcast television on the UHF band nationwide, with the participation of transmission providers: VTV, SDTV, VTC, AVG and DTV, on frequencies from E21–E48.

## A brief outline of the TV digitization project

On December 27, 2011, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung issued Decision No. 2451/QD-TTg approving the "Decision No. 2451/QD-TTg" project to digitize transmission and broadcast terrestrial television until 2020". The project officially started on April 1, 2014.

### Route

To implement the digitization plan, provinces and cities are divided into 4 groups on the basis of socio-economic development level, radio transmission conditions and local frequency allocation capability. Each stage of television digitization will be done with each of these groups. However, compared to the original schedule, the time to stop broadcasting analogue terrestrial television in some localities has been delayed for some time due to difficulties in preparation and implementation.
