Page 3: A Guide To Digital Tv
A Guide to Digital TV • What is Digital Television? Digital television (DTV) is a new way of transmitting high quality video and audio to your TV set. Using DTV, broadcasters can transmit high definition TV (HDTV) images, Dolby digital surround audio, and new services such as multicasting (transmitting more than one program on the same TV channel) and datacasting.
Page 4 CableCARD and Digital Cable Ready TVs CableCARD and Digital Cable Ready TVs are the products of a new digital cable standard. This new standard is called OpenCable and it is a concerted effort to standardize the digital cable service network interface in North America. For more information, please refer to www.cablelabs.com. Digital Cable Ready TVs are equipped with a proper digital cable tuner to receive digital cable signals from your local cable service provider.
Page 5 Q&A 1. Is the antenna I use for existing TV reception good enough for DTV? Over-the-air (OTA) digital TV broadcasting uses the same channels as analog TV and works well with many existing TV antennas. However, DTV broadcast channel assignments are different than analog channels.
