Digital Television (DTV) is an entirely new technology that will ultimately replace todays analog television system. Digital signals are transmitted using computer code - ones and zeroes - which means they are less susceptible to interference and provide a higher quality picture and sound than analog. High-definition TV (HDTV) is the best quality DTV. HDTVs sound and picture quality are many times better than todays analog TV. DTV also can be standard definition (SD) [good] or enhanced definition (ED) [better]. What you need to watch DTV: DTV (including HDTV) is available over-the-air using a standard antenna or via digital cable or satellite. No matter how you receive your TV signal (cable, satellite or over-the-air), you will need DTV equipment to watch the DTV programming. DTV equipment may be purchased as an all-in-one or component solution. Integrated DTV sets with built-in tuners are an all-inone solution for DTV - they include a digital tuner to receive over-the-air DTV broadcasts and a monitor to display the programming. A component solution includes a DTV monitor (screen) without a DTV tuner (these monitors are sometimes labeled HD Ready). Monitors must be paired with a cable or satellite set-top box, or stand-alone DTV tuner. Digital cable ready (or plug-and-play) televisions also are available that can be used to receive digital cable TV without a separate set-top box. A CableCARD that can be plugged into the set is needed for certain cable programming. Analog TVs will need additional equipment to receive over-theair television when the DTV transition ends. Today most people have analog televisions. All broadcast TV stations in the country have temporary use of a second, separate channel so that they can transition from analog broadcasting to digital. The current target for ending analog broadcasting is December 31,2006, but this date is likely to be extended, possibly for another two years. When analog broadcasting ends, consumers with analog sets will need to obtain a separate converter box to watch over-the-air TV. Analog sets equipped with a converter box will display the digital broadcasts, but not in full digital quality. This is basic information about DTV to assist consumers; it is not an endorsement of any product, service or company by the FCC.
