Analoguetransmissionisthesystem thathas beenused formanyyearsforbroadcastingtelevisionprogrammes.Withcontinuous
improvements intechnologyitis nowpossibletotransmit programmesinadigital format,allowingclearerpictures,morestations
and other services to be displayed on screen. Digital television is provided in three different ways; it can be sent along a cable
connection directtoyourhouse,broadcastfromasatellite,or broadcast using traditional land based (terrestrial) transmitters. The
first two options require youtohavean extra ‘set topbox’ decoder and in the case of satellite, a receiving dish mounted outdoors.
Whileallowingyoutoreceive traditional analoguetransmissionsin the usual way,this television can alsoreceive terrestrialdigital
services using an integrated(Digital Video Broadcasting) decoder.Thisallowsyou to enjoy the new era of digital terrestrial
television, including interactive services, without the need for a ‘set top box’ or satellite dish --- an adequate roof or loft mounted
antenna is all you need.
