Why is DTV better than the analogue system?
Digital TV offers better picture and sound quality and better reception. HDTV offers approximately twice the vertical and horizontal resolution of a PAL analogue signal, providing a better picture quality and CD sound quality. HDTV is particularly suited to large screen television display. It has an Widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9 which will give you a more realistic cinema type experience then the current 4:3 television screen. It will also be possible to transmit multiple Standard Definition Television (SDTV) programs. Data capacity can also be allocated to provide closed captions, multiple language soundtracks. Other program-related data could also be sent in this way (such as sports scores or news headlines).
