BP68-00496A-01(002~017) 3/8/05 2:59 PM Page 3 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.

Several of these services can be combined into a single digital broadcast.

BP68-00496A-01(002~017) 3/8/05 2:59 PM Page 5 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 antenna.
