(720p). Both HDTV formats are always broadcast in widescreen, and offer much higher picture quality than SDTV.

How to View Digital Television
There are three ways to watch DTV. The first is to use an integrated digital TV; one with a built-in digital television tuner. The second is to connect an external DTV set-top receiver to a DTV-ready television or monitor. This type of TV or monitor will have wideband component video and stereo audio inputs. You can also watch DTV signals with personal computer (PC) tuner cards and computer monitors.
1. Integrated TVs versus DTV-ready TVs and monitors
The advantage of an integrated DTV set is that it can tune both analog and digital TV channels at the same time. All you need to do is add an external antenna and you are ready to 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 component video inputs, you can enjoy DTV broadcasts by simply adding a low-cost DTV set-top receiver and antenna.
2. Using a personal computer and monitor
There are plug-in cards available that will receive and display DTV broadcasts on your computer monitor. In addition, many computer 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) computer display standard. You may be able to watch DTV broadcasts by connecting a computer monitor to the 15-pin jack on the rear of a set-top DTV receiver.
This television receiver supports the copy protection system regulated by DTLA (Digital Transmission Licensing Administrator). It should be noted that copy protected content may not be viewable depending on your particular connections.

Q&A

1. Is the antenna I use for existing TV reception good enough for DTV?
Over-the-air (OTA) digital TV broadcasting uses the same channels as analog TV and works well with many existing TV antennas. However, DTV broadcast channel assignments are different than analog channels. You should find out whether your local DTV broadcasts are on VHF (channels 2-13) or UHF (channels 14-69) to see if you need a different antenna. If your DTV channels are on UHF and you already get good UHF reception, your present antenna may work fine. The same holds true for VHF DTV reception. Note that in some markets, both VHF and UHF channels are used for DTV broadcasts. You can find out the latest DTV channel assignments for your area by browsing selected Internet web sites such as www.titantv.com , www.10000watts.com, and www.fcc.gov.

Checking the Digital-Signal Strength
Unlike analog channels, which can vary in reception quality from snowy to clear, digital (HDTV) channels have either perfect reception quality or you will not receive them at all.

Press the or button to select Signal Strength, then press the ENTER button.
If the signal strength meter indicates that the signal is weak, physically adjust your antenna to increase the signal strength. Continue to adjust the antenna until you find the best position with the strongest signal. Press the EXIT button to exit.
