What are Digital TV Channels?
Digital TV channels carry broadcasts utilizing digital technology rather than analog technology. Digital broadcasts are superior to analog for a number of reasons, the foremost being resolution or clarity of the picture, a wider 16:9 aspect ratio, and the ability to carry 5:1 surround sound audio. Digital broadcasts make use of high-definition television (HDTV) to deliver crisper, cleaner, more vibrant and realistic images than ever before. Another advantage over analog broadcasting is that digital TV channels can be utilized to include sub-channels for additional programming ability.
