A Guide to Digital TV
What is Digita| TeJevision?
Digital television (DTV) is a new way of transmitting high quality video and audio to
)7ol:LrTV set. Using DTV, broadcasters can transmit high definition TV (HDTV) images
Dolby digital sl:trroumd al:tdio and new services st:tch as nn:dticasting (transmitting more
than ore' program on the sam_' TV channel) and datacasting (providing electronic
program guides and interactiw' teh'vision). Svw'ral of these scrvict's can be combin{'d into
a singh' digital broadcast.
Digital Television Services
Digital Picture Quality
DTV programs arc transmitted m two difierent f_wnmts. The tirst is Standard Definition
Tch'vision (SDTV) and the' second is High Definition Teh'vision (HDTV).
8DTV program kwmats include 480-1im' interlaced (480i) and 480-line progressive
(480p) vi(h'o, q80i programs arc essentially a digital version of oL:trcl:trrent analog TV
programs, while the 480p ku_mat oih'rs inlprow, d image &'tail ow'r 4801. Som_' 480p
programs are broadc;tst in w[dvscrven and ar_' comparabh' to progrvssiw'-scan DVD
movies m image qltalit),.
HDTV program iormats include 1080-line interlaced (10801) and 720-line progressive
(720p). Both HDTV formats are always broadcast in w[descreen, and offbr mctch higher
picutre qttality than SDT\_

How to View DigitaJ TeJevision
There are three w%Ts to watch DT\_ The first is to use an integrated digital TV one w_th
a butih-in digital teh'vision tum_'r. TM' second is to conn_'ct _m _'xt_'rnal DTV st, t-top
recciwr to a DTV-read} teh,vision or monitor. This type of TV or monitor will have
wideband component video and stereo audio inpt:tts. You can ;_lso watch DTV signals
with personal cotllputter (PC) turner cards and cotllputter monitors.
Integrated TVs versus DTV-readg TVs and monitors
The advantage of an integrated DTV set is that it can tume both analog and digital TV
chanttets at the same time. All you'll treed to do is add art exterttal atttetma attd you are
remedyto watch DTV
However, integrated DTV sets are not as common as DTV-ready TVs and monitors.
If you[already own a DTV-ready TV with compon{'nt vid{,o inpt:ttS; yOtitcan {'tt]o)_ DTV
broadcasts by simply adding a low-cost DTV set-top receiver atld antetma.
This television receiver supports the copy protection system regulated by DTLA (Digital
Transmission Licensing Administrator,). tt should be noted that copy protected content may
not be viewable depending on your particular connections.

Q&A
1. is the antenna | use for existing TV reception good enough for DTV?
Ove>the-air (OTA) digital TV broadcasting uses the sanle channels as analog TV and
works _s'ell with nlan)_ t'xisting TV antennas. Ho_'t'vt'r, DT\' ])roadc'ast chann4
assign[nt, nts are diffl'n'nt than analog chann4s. You should find octt wh'ther )our
local DTV })road_'asts art, on VHF (chann4s 2-1"_) or UHF (chann4s 14-(>9) to set" if
)ou nt't'd a dfff_'n'nt antenna.
If your DTV chann4s art, on UHF and )ou ah'ady set good UHF rtwption, your
present antenna nlay _,,'ork tint'. The sanlt' holds trtitt' for VHF I)TV recq_tion. Nott'
that in sonar' Lnarkt, ts bth VHF and UHF chann4s art' used br DTV l_roadcasts.
_\_u can find out the latest DTV channel assignnlt'nts for your area by bro',_'sin;4 selected
Intt'rn_'t web site's such as _'w, Uitant_:corll, and _'_qc'c.gov.
2. How diffisu|t is it to reseive DTV signa|s indoors?
This depends on whether your local DTV stations are running full power or not and
how clost' your location is to tD transnlission t¢,ver. DTV n'eeivt'rs do not n'quin' as
Lllt:tc'h%hal as analog TV rt'c't'tvt'rs to produc't' high-qualit) iLlmgt's and sound.
Once the DTV signal level exceeds a certain threshold at the n,ceiver, the digital video
and auutio data is decoded at the sanle quality it was originally encoded br broadcast.
This is a hg advantage br DTV over analog TV - there is no noise, ghosting static or
scratchy audio.
3. How san | sonnest an antenna in my townhouse, so-operative
apartment, condominium, or apartment?
The Federal Conlnlunications Conlnlission's OTAED Ectle (part of the
Tt'lt'_'onlLnunh'ations Act of 1996) allo_;vs residents of _'ondonliniunls townhoust,, or
Lllt'nlbers of ndghborhood associations to put up outside antt_nnas for rec'eption of
broadcast TV signals as long as thost, antennas art' not [o_'att'd in common an'as and
art, no [non' than 12' fn hdght.
Eesidents of rental units (apartn_ents etc) are not covered }>ythe OTAED rules and
will havt, to ust, indoor antennas to ret'efvt' DTV t)road('asts. It is possfl>le that th'
hndlord of an apartn_ent co[nplt'x can providt, ]_road_*ast DTV signals via a n_astt, r TV
antt'nna s)'stt'm to t'ach apartn_t'nt.
4. Can ! connect my DTV set-top reseiver to my sane TV service?
CaI_le TV systen_s _tse a dificrt, nt n_ethod br transn_itting digital TV progran_s that is
c'urrently inc'on_patil_lt' with broadcast I)TV set-top re<'eivt'rs. So vot:t__:ill still nt'ed to
ttst, art outtdoor or indoor antenna to n'cdvt' OTA })ro;_dcast [)TV progratl_s.
The good news is that you won't have to pay a n_onthly or per-progran_ charge to
watch OTA DTV and HDTV progran_s. They'n" Dee unlike sttbseription satellite TV or
pn'n_iun_ cable TI All you need is an antenna and a DTV set-top n'ceiver to enjoy
clear, sharp _v[descreen i_nages and high-quality audio.
