What is the difference between analog, digital television (DTV) and HDTV?
• Analog Television Analog television has been the standard way to receive TV signals since the inception of television. However, it is no longer an efficient technology, as analog uses up much more space than digital. • DTV/Digital Television Digital television (DTV) is a more flexible and efficient technology than the traditional analog system. The switch to digital broadcasting means TV stations can offer much clearer pictures, better sound quality, and more programming that is free to consumers. • HDTV/High-Definition Television HDTV is digital television of the highest quality, offering image resolution that is superior to traditional formats. To watch TV in HD, viewers need an HD television set. Consumers with these sets may receive high-definition programming free and over the air using an HD antenna.
