Television in Slovenia was first introduced in 1958. Slovenia uses the PAL standard. The first TV station in Slovenia was launched in 1958 as RTV Ljubljana (now RTV Slovenija). The first commercial (private) TV station, Kanal A was launched in 1991. Analog broadcasting ceased on December 1st 2010.
Experimental DVB-T broadcasts began in 2001 using the MPEG-2 standard. In 2007 the Slovenian government decided to test DVB-T transmission in Ljubljana using the MPEG-4 standard, following the approval of the APEK (Agency for Post and Telecommunications Republic of Slovenia).
After that Radiotelevizija Slovenija had to determine which transmitter would be used for the 3-month test. They settled on the transmitters made by a Slovene company, Elti, who produces analog and digital TV transmitters. After the test, the RTV SLO decided to expand transmissions to TV SLO 2. In 2007, the RTV SLO launched a new channel: TV SLO 3 (a public affairs broadcast) to its digital offering. High-definition broadcast with AC-3 was experimented during the Beijing 2008 olympic games. The 2010 Winter Olympic Games were also broadcast in HD.
Currently, there are two multiplexes operating, Mux A and Mux B.
The operator is Radiotelevizija Slovenija. Mux A is intended for public programs. The commercial programs are temporarily broadcasting until programs are migrated to Mux B.
The operator of Mux B is Norkring. This multiplex is intended for commercial programs. Mux B started operating in mid-2010. The following have obtained permission to broadcast on Mux B: Šport TV 2, RTS+, i-TV, Vaš Kanal, TV Primorka, Kanal A, POP TV and TV3.
