A Brief Look at Terrestrial Television
Terrestrial broadcast is a traditional way of watching TV program, simply by installing an outdoor YAGI antenna or indoor rabbit ear antenna, plugging it into the TV set’s tuner, tuning channel, then you can enjoying watching the programs. However, they are all so called “analog TV”
In recent years, “digital TV” arises and most countries’ governments begin to mandate a Digital TV Transition from the old analog TV broadcast system. Digital TV brings viewer greater entertainment in terms of not only a noise free High Definition picture quality and Dolby AC-3 sound effect, but also the handy “EPG” (electronic program guide). 16:9 video format gives a wider view of the same program compared with traditional 4:3 format. In the near future terrestrial data broadcast will create a complete digitized world in every family. Many terrestrial TV broadcasts at this moment are delivering digital TV programs, when the time of government mandated transition deadline comes, all the analog TV transmissions have to give way to digital, which makes the Bravo series digital terrestrial HDTV receivers a wise investment now.
Digital TV programs are broadcasted on both VHF and UHF radio frequency bands. Traditional analog TV transmission uses one radio frequency channel for carrying one TV station’s programs, in the digital TV transmission one radio frequency channel can carry up to four more TV station’s programs. For instance, the original analog channel CBS you used to watch now may have become 2-1,2-2,2-3,2-4 when it’s broadcasted in digital, here we call 2 as the major channel and -1, -2, -3 and
-4 are subchannel numbers. These four sub channels usually come from the same TV station and show four different programs at the same time.
Digital TV signals are transmitted in either Free-to-Air (FTA) mode or Pay-per-View (PPV) mode. FTA signals can be received for free by anyone with a MPEG 2 – DVB compliant digital terrestrial receiver, such of the Bravo series, Whereas the PPV programs can only be received by paying an access fee to the broadcaster and using a Digital receiver incorporating compatible conditional access system.
