Digital: It's the 0's and 1's, Stupid
The DTV signal is coded into binary data before transmission. Your TV then recodes the data back into video and sound.
- Digital improves reception: clean and crisp, no distortion
- Widescreen format: 16:9 versus 4:3
- High efficiency equals high resolution: 1080 lines versus 525 lines
- High efficiency also equals multicasting: 4+ signals per channel
- TV content may be combined with other digital signals
Other digital signals? Like what?
