In the study there were analyzed the considered equipment with better technical characteristics, availability and costs since they are on markets of South America adopted in the same standard of digital television as Ecuador, they are Brazil and Argentina. Two proposals were defined based on services the equipment offer, analyzed by means of the weighting the most excellent technical and economic characteristics assigning values in accordance with the importance it represents in each of the equipment. By means of this work, the concessionaires have a proposal to optimize resources and minimize the expenses of investment, in reference to other equipment choosing it in production and transmission equipment. It is recommended the concessionaires use digital equipment, so that, the quality of the signal and the services can be connected to the characteristics offered with TDT.
