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 single network.
