In  order  to  attain  with  less  field  strength  a  greater  range  for  broadcasters, 
with DVB-T so-called "hierarchical modulation" is used. In this process, several 
data  streams  are  modulated  onto  a  DVB-T  data  stream  using  "Quadrature 
Amplitude Modulation" (QAM). The robust "High Priority"  data stream (HP) 
with a lower data rate is modulated onto the more sensitive "Low Priority" data 
stream, which possesses a higher data rate. In good reception conditions, the 
receivers can receive both data streams; in poorer reception conditions, only 
the "HP" portion.
