Analogue and Digital television – what are they?
Analogue transmission is the system that has been used for many years for broadcasting television programmes.
With continuous improvements in technology it is now possible to transmit programmes in a digital format, allowing
clearer pictures, more stations and other services to be displayed on screen. Digital television is provided in three
different ways; it can be sent along a cable connection direct to your house, broadcast from a satellite, or broadcast
using traditional land based (terrestrial) transmitters. The first two options require you to have an extra “set top box”
decoder and in the case of satellite, a receiving dish mounted outdoors. While allowing you to receive traditional
analogue transmissions in the usual way, this television can also receive terrestrial digital services using an integrated
(Digital Video Broadcasting) decoder. This allows you to enjoy the new era of digital terrestrial television, including
interactive services, without the need for a “set top box” or satellite dish – an adequate roof or loft mounted antenna
is all you need.
