About digital TV broadcasting:

With its high definition broadcast, digital broadcasting far surpasses analog broadcasting in both its picture and sound quality.

What is the minor channel?

By using high compression technology, digital broadcasting offers a service that enables multiple signals to send simultaneously. Therefore, you can select more than one program per major channel since digital broadcasting technology distinguishes between multiple channels broadcast by a signal network.
