What is analog television?
Analog refers to the transmission standard used to send most television signals today. It is comprised of a continuous electronic wave that can experience electrical interference as it travels from the signal transmitter to your TV set. Interference can be caused by a number of things, from high-tension power lines to thunderstorms. Therefore, the quality of the picture you see when it arrives on your standard analog TV set is somewhat degraded from its original quality. An analog transmission system can only deliver Standard Television signals. An analog signal delivered to your home via cable television is superior to antenna. Antietam Cable has a huge master antenna and satellite dish at our facility that capture the analog signal in its best form. We then send it to you via our cable, which protects the signal from the majority of external interference.
Analog television service is the traditional method of transmitting TV signals and has been the standard broadcast technology since the inception of television. Analog television service isn’t as efficient as DTV. It uses up much more valuable spectrum that – once the DTV transition is completed – will be provided to public safety organizations, such as first responders including fire and police departments. The remaining spectrum will be auctioned off for the production of new services. Full power analog TV broadcasting will continue until the end of the transition period or June 12, 2009. Many television stations will continue broadcasting their programming in both analog and digital signals until then.

Analog television service is the traditional TV system. Analog television has been the standard broadcast technology since the inception of television using magnetic waves to transmit and display pictures and sound. The best obtainable picture using analog television is of SDTV quality. Analog broadcasting will continue until the end of the transition period, which currently is set for February 17, 2009. Most television stations will continue broadcasting both analog and digital programming until then.
