How
to
View
Digital
Television
There
are three
ways
to watch
DTV
The first
is to use an integrated
digital
TV; one with
a blJilt-in
digital
television
timer.
The
second
is to connect
an external
DTV set-top
receiver
to a DTVlready
television
or monitor.
This
type
of TV or monitor
will have
wideband
component
video
and
stereo
andio
inpnts.
Yon can also watch
DTV
signals
with
personal
complltei"
(PC) tllner
cards
and complltei"
monitors.
1. Integrated
TVs
versus
DTV-ready
TVs
and
monitors
The advantage
of an integrated
DTV set is that it can time both analog and digital TV
channels
at the same time. All yon'll need to do is add an external
antenna
and yon are
ready to watch DTV
However,
integrated
DTV
sets are not as common
as DTVhready TVs and monitors.
If yon already own a DTV-ready
TV with comt3onent
video inputs,
you can eI_joy DTV
broadcasts
by simply adding a low-cost
DTV set-top receiver and antenna.
2. Using
a personal
computer
and
monitor
There are phlg-in
cards available
that will receive and display
DTV
broadcasts
on yollr
cornplltei" monitor.
In
addition,
many complltei" monitors
will display one or more of
the DTV program
formats
directly< The most compatible
format is 480p, which is similar
to the VGA (640x480
pixel) compnter
display standard.
Yon may be able to watch DTV
broadcasts
by connecting
a completer
monitor
to the 15-pin jack on the rear of the set-
top DTV
receiver.
