# South Africa is anticipated to switch-off analogue TV on 31 March, however concerns are mounting over delays. According to Broadcast Media Africa, contractors warn of a shortage of digital set-top boxes, low installation fees, and theft of adaptors. Payment delays for installers further complicate the process. Meanwhile, eMEDIA, owners of eNCA and etv, has also launched a legal challenge, fearing millions could lose TV access. With 220-thousand households still awaiting transition, doubts remain over whether the deadline will be met.
