Digital Television (DTV), also known as high- definition television (Digital TV), has replaced the current NTSC system, which was invented in the 1930s The goal of Digital TV is to greatly improve the picture and sound quality.
After nearly a decade of evaluating alternative Digital TV systems, the FCC has finalized the standards and decreed that Digital TV will become the U.S. TV standard in June 2009. The first Digital TV stations began transmission in the ten largest U.S. cities on September 1, 1998.
Digital TV broadcasting can deliver crystal-clear pictures that will approach the quality of 35mm movies and CD sound. One form of digital broadcasting will be HDTV (High Definition Television), which will provide the highest resolution quality picture. The FCC requires that all 1678 US TV stations must be 100% digital by June 2009. 'DTV' is a general reference to Digital Television technology. DTV broadcasts will either be HDTV (High Definition TV) or SDTV (Standard Definition TV). These have different levels of resolution - as high as 1125 scanning lines (interlaced), which is called HDTV or High Definition Television, to as low as 525 (interlaced or progressive) scanning lines, called SDTV or Standard Definition Television. Individual broadcasters will be able to choose in which format to transmit their programming.

DMATV stands for Digital Master Antenna Television. It is the means by which many apartment complexes, hotels, schools and other multi-unit buildings distribute DTV and DFM signals to a number of Television Receivers. In order to accomplish this without a loss of signal quality, these systems must be carefully planned and engineered through the effective use of DMATV equipment and techniques.
A DMATV system is basically a network of cables and specially designed components that process and amplify TV and FM signals and distribute them from one central location. If there were 100 TV sets in a building, it would be extremely expensive to Install and maintain l00 separate antennas. Not only would it be unsightly, but reception would suffer because that many antennas would interact with each other, causing interference problems.
FAQs
Is it better than analog?
Yes. it is only limited by the quality of your television. However, If you did not receive a specific TV station with an analog signal, it is unlikely that you will receive that station after the conversion.
Can I use my existing T.V and Video Equipment?
Yes, Our solution allows the Digital Signal to be converted to a “usable” analog signal that will not require a DTV converter. If you have an HD TV then we can allow the signal to go directly to the set.
Why upgrade to DTV?
Apart from the perfect picture and sound quality there are more channels and features available and after June 12th , 2009 it will be the only system used.
Can digital and analog run on the same Cable System?
Yes.
