"The department was working hard to ensure the target date of 31 March 2022, announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa in his State of the Nation address this past February, would be met."

So, this is what we can expect from Sentech for analogue TV broadcast signals on 1 April 2022 (April Fool's Day) then...

So, DTT streams going to be encrypted?
Because if it is, then someone is going to dump the keys off multiple devices, write software/build cheap decoding hardware to decrypt those streams...
