The Office of the Communications Authority (OFCA) reminds members of the public that Fantastic Television Limited (Fantastic TV) will broadcast its TV programme channels via both fixed network and radio spectrum starting from 1 April 2022. At the initial stage, the broadcasting via radio spectrum will cover around 75 per cent of the Hong Kong population. Fantastic TV will extend its coverage to 99 per cent of the population by 24 May 2023. The coverage areas under each stage are detailed in the Annex. The existing channel numbers of Fantastic TV's TV programme channels (i.e. 76 and 77) will remain unchanged.

Buildings currently receiving Fantastic TV's free TV service via fixed network can continue to receive the service using the existing means, and need not make any changes. For those buildings not yet receiving Fantastic TV's free TV service, with reference to the coverage areas under each stage as specified in the Annex, relevant property owners or managers may need to upgrade their common antenna broadcast distribution systems in a timely manner for reception and distribution of digital terrestrial TV (DTT) frequency channel 22 (i.e. 478 – 486 MHz), and advise residents to rescan for TV programme channels on their digital TV receivers in order to receive Fantastic TV's programmes. Viewers using self-provided antennae only need to perform channel rescanning in order to receive the service of Fantastic TV if their locations are within the areas covered by the radio spectrum.

For details of Fantastic TV's DTT service, members of the public may visit Fantastic TV's website at www.hkopentv.com/#/home. Relevant enquiries can be made to Fantastic TV's hotline at 2112 0678 or its email address at
