The NBC said within six months, analog broadcasting will be switched off in Lagos, and all households need to purchase the set-top box to view channels.

“Also, the DSO provides us with a great platform to key into the Lagos Smart City Project, which seeks to use technology to enhance service delivery in all spheres of life. The DSO is not just about high fidelity sound and picture, it is about creating jobs, especially for our teeming youth, stimulating local content, and empowering channel owners,” the minister said.

“Though it took the digital television train over three years to arrive in Lagos State, from its last stop in Osun State, the train is now ready to move faster. The DSO train has now changed from narrow gauge to standard gauge, meaning it will move faster to cover 13 states across the country this year alone in the second phase of the DSO rollout, which begins today,” the minister said.

Mr Mohammed said the launch of DSO shows the power and the extensive reach of modern broadcasting, which makes it a veritable tool for national development.A set-top box is a device that enables a television set to receive and decode digital broadcasts. He said with the launch of the DSO, a set-top box is all that Lagosians need to enjoy over 30 digital television services, subscription-free.
