Introduction
Digital TV (DTV) is a new technology for broadcasting TV signals. As its
name suggests, signals of TV programs are modulated and transmitted
digitally, providing higher picture and sound quality and additional
information (for example, interactive features and EPG (Electronic Program
Guide), depending on the services available in your area).
Currently there are several different kinds of digital TV broadcasting
standards being used around the world, including Satellite, Cable and
Terrestrial standards. The main digital TV broadcasting standards that are
currently being developed and adopted are shown below:
The DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) standards are used by most of the
European countries as well as Taiwan as their digital TV broadcasting
standards. For latest updates about digital TV development and services in
Taiwan, please visit: http://www.dtvc.org.tw
This DTV tuner box complies with the DVB-T terrestrial digital TV
broadcasting standard. With this DTV tuner box installed and available DTV
signal connected, you can use your display to view digital TV programs and
listen to digital radio broadcasts.
Coverage of digital TV signals
Digital TV reception can be directly affected by the quality and coverage
(strength) of broadcast signals. You can visit the website below to check the
signal strength and coverage of digital TV signals in your area:
