Q: What are the benefits of digital broadcasting?
A: Digital TV broadcasting generates less noise and provides clearer visuals and sound than analog
TV broadcasting does. As services develop, you can also enjoy various information services because various kinds of data besides video and audio can be sent.
A: For example, while watching a sports game, you can view various data on your favorite player
or you can view all or selected screens which have been captured from different angles for a specific scene. In addition, you can retrive information on a previous story or drama or you can buy home shopping products such as an accessory currently on TV.
Page 24
Digital TV broadcasting allows you to easily access various information services in your home creating a more information-oriented home.
Q: Can I watch digital TV broadcasting with an analog TV?
A: No.
A: The analog TV cannot interpret digital signals. Therefore, a digital TV is required to watch digital
TV broadcasting.
Q: Can I use my present antenna to receive digital broadcasting?
A: As for existing analog TV, digital TV is designed so that digital broadcasting signals are received
via both indoor and outdoor antennas.
A: If signal reception is very good in your environment, you can watch digital broadcasts with your
existing indoor antenna. If not, it is better to install an outdoor UHF antenna.
Q: How do I connect an antenna for an apartment or tenement house?
A: Consult the superintendent's office or broadcasting facility administrator for your apartment or
tenement house to check whether UHF reception is available.
A: Even if digital TV broadcasting is available in your area, if you cannot watch it because the
superintendent's office or common broadcasting facility does not rebroadcast the signal, you have to install an indoor or outdoor antenna.
A: Alternatively, your local cable broadcasting company provides a digital TV service, and you can
subscribe to it.
A: If a cable broadcasting company is sharing a common broadcasting facility for your apartment
or tenement house, it has to adjust and send digital TV signals so that they are compatible to shared viewing which is the original purpose of the common broadcasting facility.
