For second day in Azerbaijan continues decode fuss. The matter is that the country has stopped analogue broadcasting, and owners of older TV models have not purchased in advance decoders to watch digital broadcasting. The Ministry of Communications reported that the decoders can be purchased at post offices at AZN 22, and people rushed to buy them.
