MD68-00278A(E)-PREFACE 8/26/02 1:49 PM Page 1 A Guide to Digital TV What is Digital Television? Digital television (DTV) is a new way of transmitting high quality video and audio to your TV set. Using DTV, broadcasters can transmit high definition TV (HDTV) images, Dolby digi- tal surround audio, and new services such as multicasting (transmitting more than one pro- gram on the same TV channel) and datacasting (providing electronic program guides and interactive television). Several of these

MD68-00278A(E)-PREFACE 8/26/02 1:49 PM Page 2 How to View Digital Television There are three ways to watch DTV. The first is to use an integrated digital TV; one with a built-in digital television tuner. The second is to connect an external DTV set-top receiver to a DTV-ready television or monitor. This type of TV or monitor will have wideband compo- nent video and stereo audio inputs. You can also watch DTV signals with personal comput- er (PC) tuner cards and computer monitors. 1. Integrate

MD68-00278A(E)-PREFACE 8/26/02 1:49 PM Page 3 Q&A 1. Is the antenna I use for existing TV reception good enough for DTV? Over-the-air (OTA) digital TV broadcasting uses the same channels as analog TV and works well with many existing TV antennas. However, DTV broadcast channel assignments are different than analog channels. You should find out whether your local DTV broadcasts are on VHF (channels 2-13) or UHF (channels 14-69) to see if you need a different anten- na. If your DTV channels are

MD68-00278A(E)-PREFACE 8/26/02 1:49 PM Page 4 Q&A 4. Can I connect my DTV set-top receiver to my cable TV service? Cable TV systems use a different method for transmitting digital TV programs that is current- ly incompatible with broadcast DTV set-top receivers. So you will still need to use an out- door or indoor antenna to receive OTA broadcast DTV programs. The good news is that you won't have to pay a monthly or per-program charge to watch OTA DTV and HDTV programs. They're free, unlike s
