The television

Germany and Croatia are among first European countries that have adopted the strategy of switchingfrom DVB-T h.264 system to DVB-T2 h.265 (HEVC) system of broadcasting for terrestrial television. The newerh.265 system has better performance compared to previously h.264 especially in terms of efficiency oftransmitting. On a single frequency, h.265 enables much more data flow, which means more channels and/orbetter quality of transmitting. This paper investigates the efficiency and rentability of such transition andcompares Germany as s big and Croatia as a small European country. The aim of the analysis is to show thebackground for such a technological change in these two countries and to compare it having in mind the differenceof capacities necessary for terrestrial transmission. This switch to the DVB-T2 HEVC system represents theclassical example of technological progress in practice, and is especially interesting in the period when othercountries are setting up strategies for the future of terrestrial television transmission.
