Abstract—The transition from analog to digital television broadcasting in Indonesia began in 2018 and ended in 2024. This transition requires industry players, regulatory bodies, and the public to adapt to the new regulations. The regulatory body issued regulations on DVB-T2 through the Minister of Communications and Informatics Regulation No. 6 of 2019, with a minimum field strength limit of 47.4 dBμV/m. With this regulation, broadcasts are expected to reach the public with good signal quality by analysing the BER, MER, C/N, and field strength values. The methods used to analyse digital TV signals include measurements test points and predictions. The predicted average minimum field strength obtained is 42.1 dBμV/m, while the measured value is 43.11 dBμV/m, with the highest field strength recorded at 56.7 dBμV/m. Digital TV broadcasts can still be received with field strength lower below regulation. However, for field strengths below 33.3 dBμV/m, the broadcast quality degraded to poor quality until the signal was lost at 19.6 dBμV/m. This prediction and measurement model provides accurate estimates of DVB-T2 signal strength, ensuring efficiency in line with established regulatory standards.
