A DVB-T2 standard-based network (Multiplex 7) has been created for HD-quality TV picture transmission.{{Cite web|url=https://levira.com/teenused/televisioon-ja-raadio/teleripildi-edastus/teenused-telekanalitele/|title=Teenused telekanalitele|website=Levira|language=et|access-date=2019-01-29}}

In June 2007, Levira and ETV announced that they had agreed to launch an HDTV trial in July 2007.{{cite press release|url=http://www.levira.ee/fl334eng.html |title=Levira and ETV agreed to start HD transmissions over DTT |date=4 June 2007 |publisher=Levira |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070612022708/http://www.levira.ee/fl334eng.html |archivedate=12 June 2007}}

In November 2007, a third multiplex was launched, covering almost all of the country. This multiplex was to be used by free-to-air services, while the two existing national multiplexes would only carry pay channels. Hence the public channel ETV was transferred to the new multiplex.[http://www.broadbandtvnews.com/today/?p=2825 Third DTT mux for Estonia : Broadband TV News] At this time there are only 11 free-to-air channels (five news channels and channels from ERR and Duo Media (Kanal 7, Kino 7 and MyHits)) while others are pay-TV channels, offered by AS Elisa.{{Cite web|url=https://levira.com/en/services/broadcasting/terrestrial-tv-broadcasting/|title=Terrestrial TV broadcasting|website=Levira|access-date=2019-01-29}}
