Digital television
Once upon a time there was only one TV in the family - buying it was considered necessary. The idea that one family could have two or more televisions did not even occur to ordinary people. In the very early 2000s, digital television replaced analog TV with poor antennas. It significantly improved the signal quality, increased the number of TV channels and allowed any TV viewer to control their viewing.
Today, many companies offer digital TV connection services at completely affordable prices. Digital television has long ceased to be a luxury, and the first companies providing it have long ceased to be monopolists. Now companies are striving to gain customers by reducing tariffs, increasing opportunities, adding bonuses and increasing the number of channels offered. Online in Moscow is one of the largest providers of these services.
