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 ti_at 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 single network
